1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1 (12 oz.) pkg. Semi-Sweet or Milk Chocolate Chips or Chocolate Chunks

well. Stir In chocolate and walnuts. Chill at least 1 hour.
Form heaping tablespoons of mixture into golf ball-size balls; place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 375°. 12 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on cookie sheet 1 minute. Remove cookies to wire rack to cool.
TO FREEZE DOUGH: Roll chilled dough into five 10x1-1/2 inch logs. Wrap In foil or freezer proof plastic wrap. Freeze up to two months.
TO BAKE FROZEN COOKIES: Preheat oven to 375°. For large cookies, slice log into 3/4” slices; halve. For bite size cookies, slice log into 1/2” slices; quarter.
Place chunks on cookie sheet. Bake 12-15 minutes for large cookies. 8-10 minutes for bite size. Cool on cookie sheet 2 minutes; remove and cool on rack. For moist
cookies store in airtight container after cooling 5-10 minutes. Each log makes approximately 2 dozen large or 5 dozen bite-size cookies.
