These are my "go to" cookies when I need an easy recipe, a lot of cookies and one that has chocolate on it, no question. I can't count the number of times I have made these. I LOVE THESE COOKIES!!! I had triplets for neighbors awhile back, and they absolutely loved the raw dough. So, on some of their birthdays, this year being the most recent, I made a double batch of dough, without the eggs, divided it into 3 logs, wrapped in parchment paper and put their names on each one.

2 sticks butter
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
1/2 cups chopped pecans or walnuts, or none if you want

Cream butter, salt and sugar. Add egg and vanilla. Mix well. Add flour and combine. Spread over the entire area of a 10x15 pan, which is a jellyroll pan. Bake at 350 for about 15-18 minutes, or until the edges start turning a dark brown. The longer you bake this the crispier the cookies will be. Take the cookies out of the oven and turn oven off. Sprinkle chips over cookies and put back in the oven for 5 minutes. Take out and spread melted chips over cookies with an offset spatula. Then sprinkle the nuts over all. Also, at this point, I cut the cookies, so when they cool you can just score again.
