GOLDEN CHOCOLATE TREASURE COOKIES

From the Kitchen of Linda Rakszawski

1� c. all purpose flour
� tsp. baking soda
� tsp. salt
� c. firmly packed brown sugar
� c. butter, softened
1 egg
� tsp. vanilla extract
10-12 oz. pkg. chocolate chips (white or dark chocolate)
1 c. coarsely chopped pecans (Optional)

Note: the white chocolate chips are very sweet.  You can reduce the amount to about ? bag when making this recipe.  For a large quantity, we tripled the recipe for the dough, but only used 2 bags of chips instead of 3.  The cookies came out great.

Preheat oven to 350�.  In bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt.  Set aside.

In mixing bowl, beat brown sugar and butter until creamy (3-5 minutes).  Add egg and vanilla.  Mix well.  Gradually blend in flour mixture.  Stir in chips and nuts.  Drop by spoon on ungreased cookie sheet.  Bake 8-10 minutes.  Let stand 2 minutes.

Helpful Hint: Use a cookie dough scoop to drop the dough onto the cookie sheet.  This helps to form a small dough ball.  The rounder the dough ball, the rounder the cookies.
