Who doesn't like chocolate chip cookies. These are traditional, easy drop cookies that taste best right out of the oven with an ice cold glass of milk.

In a bowl sift together the flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl beat the butter until smooth, about 30 seconds. Add the sugars and beat until slightly fluffy, about 1 minute, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla.
At slow speed gradually add the flour mixture and beat until just combined. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the chocolate chips and nuts, if using.
Drop the dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto the prepared pan, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart. Bake until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from sheet and let cool.
