- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla

- 1 teaspoon salt, scant
- 3 cups chocolate chips (I use 1/2 semi-sweet and 1/2 milk chocolate)
directions
- Preheat oven to 350 and arrange nuts on baking sheet and toast for 7 to 9 minutes. Cool and coarsely chop.
- Grease baking sheet generously with butter or cookng spray. Cream butter and both sugars togethter about 1 minute, until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla and beat on medium speed for 1 minute. Add the flour, baking soda and salt. Mix on medium speed until incorporated. Stir in walnuts, pecans and chocolate chips. The dough will be relatively stiff.
- Drop the dough on cookie sheets using an ice cream scoop about 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until golden brown on edges (Don't worry about the raw dough in the middle, it will disappear as the cookies cool.) The cookies will spread about 3 1/2 inches in diameter.

I'll start by saying most of my recipies are rich and not made for dieting,although a very few are healthy by nature!
I live in Oklahoma and was raised on a farm. We ate what we raised and grew. Our trips to town were bi-monthly but my Mother was creative and made do with what we had such as cattle,pork,poultry,fruit,grain,
milk,eggs and garden veggies.
I have collected cookbooks for years and love to take different combinations of other recipes and combine them to make my own. My favorite cookbooks are those from small country churches from old fashion cooks.
My favorite time of year is Christmas and I start about 3 weeks before making homemade candy.
