Do you have a go to cookie recipe? This is mine. Boring, I know. Unoriginal- definitely. But my kids LOVE them, I always have the ingredients on hand and I can get them in the oven in under ten minutes. A perfect trifecta in this house.

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