I'm Too Tall To Be A Keebler Elf (Original Toll House Cookies)

Once again I ventured into the unknown territory of baking. Thank goodness Carol was there.

ORIGINAL TOLL HOUSE COOKIES

1 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp hot water
2 1/4 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup chopped walnuts
12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips

Cream butter and sugars. Add beaten eggs. Dissolve soda in hot water. Add sifted flour and salt alternately with soda mixture. Mix in vanilla and add nuts and chocolate chips.
Drop by half teaspoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet. Bake in moderate oven at 375 F for 10 to 12 minutes. Makes 100 cookies

If you want to try one, get to work early on Monday and come to the break room.
