2 1/3 cups flour, 1 t.baking soda, 1/2 t. salt

add flour mixture to first bowl & mix with wooden spoon until well combined. add 1 c. chocolate chips & 1 c. walnuts, if desired.

set oven to 325 and drop 1/4 cup of the dough onto a foil-lined baking sheet. bake 10-15 minutes – the edges will brown and the top will turn a golden tan. {makes about 18 cookies IF you don’t eat too much of the dough. }
