5 1/2c flour

Cut four 14x12" pieces of waxed paper or plastic wrap. In a bowl, cream butter and sugars. Beat in vanilla and eggs unitl light and fluffy. In a bowl combinge flour, salt and baking soda. Stir flour mixture into egg mixture until blended. Add chips and nuts.

Divide dough into 4 pieces. Shape each into an 8-10in roll. Wrap rolls in waxed paper or plastic wrap. Place in a plastic freeze containter or wrap in aluminum foil. Labe wl with date and contents. Store in freezer. Use within 6 mths. Makes 4 rolls of dough or about 12-dozen cookies.

To Bake:
Thaw a roll for about 10min or so. Preheat oven to 350F. Cut dough into 1/4in slices. Place on ungreased baking sheet. Bake ~10min - until browned around edges.

Tips:

• I usually divided into 6 logs instead. So I had ~24 cookies at time instead of 36 cookies.
• It helps to have your hands wet or greased while working the dough.
• Can be dairy free - just use dairy free chocolate chips and butter.
