Mom gave us many things, and among them was a love of cooking and an entire file cabinet full of recipes. There's one thing that we can do every day to keep her in our hearts. (and in our stomachs) Use her recipes on a regular basis! I know we all make Scotcheroos, and other favorites, but there are SO MANY good ones. I'm going to test some of them, make notes, and share them with you on my blog. And Heidi and Pam are helping! (See the notes to determine who tested the recipe)

Toll House Pan Cookies

Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups unsifted flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 cup softened butter
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
One 12-oz package semi-sweet chocolate morsels
1 cup chopped nuts

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In small bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside. In large bowl, combine butter, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla; beat until creamy. Beat in eggs. Gradually add flour mixture; mix well. Stir in chocolate morsels and nuts. Spread into greased 15x10x1" pan. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes. Cool; cut into two-inch squares. Makes 35 squares.

Note: For one 6-ounce package of chocolate, recipe may be divided in half. Spread into greased 13x9x2" pan. Bake for 12-14 minutes. Makes about 24 squares.

Tested and approved by Heidi. I don't have a 15x10 pan, so I made the half batch. Again, I mixed butterscotch chips with the chocolate and used macadamia nuts. Spreading cookie batter in a pan is a little tricky; at first it didn't seem like there was enough to go around, but it did spread and rise satisfactorily in the oven.
