Nestle's Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe...

Ingredients:

• 1 cup (2 sticks) margarine (I use margarine because it makes a softer cookie). The Nestle recipe calls for 1 cup, 2 sticks of butter.
• 3/4 c. brown sugar
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 2 1/2 c. flour
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1 tsp. salt
• 2 cups (12 oz. pkg.) chocolate chips (semi-sweet chips, or milk chocolate chips, your choice)
• chopped nuts (opt.)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt.
2. In a large mixing bowl, beat margarine, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract.
3. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
4. Fold in flour mixture gradually. Stir in chocolate morsels (and nuts) if you desire.
5. Spread mixture onto a greased pizza pan making sure the dough is spread evenly around the pan.
6. Bake in a 375 degree oven for about 15 minutes. Check after 12 minutes. The dough should be golden brown.
7. Cool to room temperature until ready to decorate.
