I'm sharing my uncle's cookie recipe with you guys. Granted it's Nestle's but... he did things a bit differently than the original one (he melted the butter in a pan iirc instead of just having it softened and he baked each tray of cookies for 11 mins (approx. depending on the oven)).
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 2/3 cups (10 oz.) Nestle chocolate morsels
Optional: 1 cup chopped nuts
Note: this can be adjusted to have M & M's or other ingredients to be put in the cookies
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Combine flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in morsels and nuts (if adding in the latter). Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets.
Bake for around 11 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheets for two minutes remove to wire racks to cool completely.
A little bit of background on this: My uncle used to make these and give them out to family and friends on their birthdays and on the holidays. And one time he let me help him out with making them.
