1 cup	white sugar
1 cup	packed brown sugar
2	eggs
2 tsp	vanilla extract
1 tsp	baking soda
2 tsp	hot water
1/2 tsp	salt
3 cups	all-purpose flour
2 cups	semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup	chopped walnuts, optional

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Cream together butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth
Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla
Dissolve baking soda in hot water and add to batter along with salt
Stir in flour, chocolate chips, and nuts
Drop large spoonfuls onto greased pan
Bake for about 10 minutes, or until edges are nicely browned. Do not overbake or they will be crispy all the way through.
