Cream:
1 lb butter (not margarine!)
1 lb dark brown sugar
1 1/2 c sugar
Batter will be stiff and difficult to stir
Add:
3 eggs
2 tbsp vanilla
Beat w/mixer 3 minutes or 5 minutes by hand
Add:
6 c flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
Stir everything together for 3 minutes. Fold in 12 oz chocolate chips (or the chips of your choice. More can also be used). Can also add 2 cups chopped nuts.
If using a regular cookie sheet, line with foil, DULL side up. Airbake pans do not require foil. Using a big spoon, place scoops 1 in apart. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. The cookies may not look done after 10 minutes but they probably are - don't let them cook much longer.
