Chocolate Chip Cookies

Quick, easy, standard chocolate chip cookies loaded with nuts. Replaced butter with Earth Balance to make them non-dairy and there's really no difference in taste or texture.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1/2 cup Earth Balance butter spread
  
• less than 1/2 cup brown sugar
• less than 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sifted all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
• 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

PREPARATION:

Preheat oven to 375°.
Cream Earth Balance; add sugars and beat until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Sift together flour, salt, and soda; add to creamed mixture.

Stir until well blended. Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts. Drop the batter from a teaspoon, well apart, on a greased cookie sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes.

Recipe makes about 2 dozen chocolate chip cookies.
