Tollhouse Cookies to be precise > > 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour > 1 teaspoon baking soda > 1 teaspoon salt > 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened > 3/4 cup granulated sugar > 3/4 cup packed brown sugar > 1 teaspoon vanilla extract > 2 large eggs > 2 cups chocolate chips > (you can add nuts, but I don’t like them) > > Preheat oven to 375°F. > Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in chips. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets. > Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely. > > [Full version with Nuts Here](http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/toll-house-chocolate-chip-cookies) Oh, I’d never heard of Tollhouse cookies before.

Another [Kingdom of Loathing](http://kol.coldfront.net/thekolwiki/index.php/Trollhouse_cookies) reference clarified. And an appropriate one, under the circumstances. You are in for a treat then - they are the cookie equivalent of crack. Try not to eat all the dough before cooking. And leave out the nuts - they are unneeded. (Another tip - take them out of the oven while they’re only very light brown - they will still be soft but will harden as they cool. If you overcook them the sugar will start to caramelize and they’ll develop a slight burnt flavour.) ---
