2 1/2 c. flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt

Blend together and add:

1 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. white sugar
1 c. real butter, softened (DO NOT MELT!)
2 tsp. real vanilla
2 eggs

Cream together and add 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional). Use a small ice cream scoop and drop on ungreased silver (NOT DARK) cookie sheets. Bake at 300 degrees for 22 minutes. Store in a Tupperware with a piece of fresh bread to keep them soft.
