Tastiest and Simplest Choc-Chip Cookies

I was given this recipe by a friend who assured my these were very simple and the tastiest cookies ever--and you know what? She was right!! I usually double the recipe because they disappear so quickly!!! You don't have to add the chocolate chips separately, but I find it easier if I want a an even distribution of chocolate chips. You can of course add walnuts or peanuts if you want.
