Wisconsin'S Best Chocolate Chip Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

Cream together
1 lb softened butter
2 cups firmly packed dark brown sugar
Beat in for 3-4 minutes
2 tablespoons vanilla
3 large eggs
Add
6 cups flour
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
Stir in
4 cups chocolate chips
2 cups chopped nuts (optional)

Preparation

Drop by large teaspoonful on a greased cookie sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes at 350\u00b0. Transfer to a wire rack to cool after one minute.
To get the cookies to come out soft, I undercook them a bit. Depending on your oven, try baking the first batch for 8 minutes - if they are not cooked enough, cook them a little longer. Don't forget that they will continue to cook for another minute on the cookie sheet after you take them out!
This recipe can be frozen for later use.
Note: Since this recipe yields so many cookies, it's best to use a stand mixer if you aren't halving the ingredients.
