The recipe our mothers used to make...made some today. All I can say is YUM

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups (12-oz. pkg.) Nestle Toll House Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels
• 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375° F.

2. Combine flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in morsels and nuts. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets. 

3. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely. 

Not too complicated. Right?

 

I was in Palo Alto today an found these in a small toy shop there called Palo Alto Toy and Sport. These are very cute! Wake up to animal sounds! This alarm clock displays the chosen animal's face and plays the sound it makes. The choices are frog, duck, dog, monkey, pig, butterfly, cat, cow, and rooster. They are only $16 each, a great gift for your kids. You can buy them at Palo Alto Toy and Sport if you are in the bay area, or online from Karma Kiss. [Duck Alarm Clock]
