Recipe - Smartie Pants

1 cup Unsalted butter
1 teaspoon Vanilla
Three fourths cup Sugar
Three fourths cup Brown sugar
2 Eggs
2 One fourth cup Flour
1 teaspoon Baking soda
1 teaspoon Salt
2 cup Chocolate chips or Smarties
2 cup Walnuts or pecans (optional)

If Carole is still on the quest for the perfect chocolate chip cookie
recipe this might be the one. It was in Wednesday's Ottawa Citizen & billed
as Smartie Pants or Positivelythe AbsolutelyBestChocolateChip Cookies.

Preheat oven to 375 F.

In large bowl, beat butter until soft. Add vanilla & both sugars and beat
to mix. Beat in eggs, one at a time.

In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda & salt. Gradually add flour
mixture. Stir in chocolate chips or candies & nuts if using.

Drop by a rounded teaspoon on to ungreased cookie sheets & bake for 810
minutes, or until golden & light brown around the edges. (Note: if you
chill the dough before putting the cookies in the oven, they will have a
nicer golden brown color.)
