| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter, white and brown sugar, salt, vanilla and water, and beat them together with a large spoon until the mixture is light and fluffy.
|
2. Beat in the egg and baking soda and when they are well combined add the flour, beating it in ¼ cup at a time. Then, gently but thoroughly fold in the chocolate bits and nuts.
|
3. With a pastry brush coat a cookie sheet evenly with the tablespoon of soft butter. Drop the cookie batter onto the sheet a tablespoon at a time, leaving about 1½ inches between the cookies.
|
|
4. Gently pat down the tops of each cookie with a spatula, but don't flatten them entirely. Bake in the middle of the oven for about 12 minutes, or until the cookies are firm to the touch and lightly brown. Coolon a cake rack.
