Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies

For whatever reason this recipe is better than any recipe I have found for Chocolate Chip Cookies. Maybe it is the baking soda dissolved in the hot water. Also I use Trader Joes Chocolate Chips because they are less waxy than the name brands. These cookies are soft and melt in your mouth delicious. Bottom-line, truly the best.

Ingredients:

1 Cup Butter, softened

1 Cup White Sugar

1 Cup packed Brown Sugar

2 Eggs

2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

1 teaspoon Baking Soda

2 teaspoons Hot Water

½ teaspoon salt

3 Cups Flour

2 Cups Semisweet Chocolate Chips 

1 Cup Walnuts or Pecans

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
2. Cream together butter, white sugar and brown sugar until smooth. 
3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
4. Dissolve baking soda in hot water. Add to batter along with salt.
5. Stir in flour, chocolate chips and nuts.
6. Drop by large spoonfuls onto ungreased pans
7. Bake for about 10 minutes or until edges are nicely brown.

Enjoy!
