Makes: 4 dozen

Description: I've tried a lot of chocolate chip cookie recipes and this is my favorite one! I'm a tough critic when it comes to cookies so that says something. These are gooey and scrumptious. Warning: it'll be difficult not to eat a dozen in one night.

Ingredients:
1 cup  butter (softened)
1 cup  white sugar
1 cup  packed brown sugar
2  eggs
2 teaspoons  vanilla extract
3 cups  all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon  baking soda
2 teaspoons  hot water
1/2 teaspoon  salt
2 cups  chocolate chips

Instructions: First: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Second: Cream together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Dissolve baking soda in hot water. Add to batter along with salt. Stir in flour, chocolate chips, and nuts. Drop by large spoonfuls onto un-greased pans.

Finally: Bake for about 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges are nicely browned.

And you're done!
