I can ruin 2 recipes in a flash: chocolate chip cookies and biscuits. Not quite sure what I do wrong? That aside, the classic "Toll House" chocolate chip cookie recipes treats me well most of the time. I want to be more sophisticated than that, but I guess it wasn't meant to be. Eliot and I made some "chocolate chippers" this week. They've already been eaten (and it's only Wednesday?!). Here is the recipe:

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks, 1/2 pound) butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated [white] sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

COMBINE flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla in large mixer bowl. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition; gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in morsels and nuts. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets.

BAKE in preheated 375-degree [Fahrenheit] oven for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely...

.....or....eat them all up real quick and don't burn your tongue.
