Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, with an electric mixer on high speed, beat butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla and set aside.

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt. Beat flour mixture into butter mixture. Stir in remaining ingredients. Drop dough by tablespoonfuls onto greased baking sheets, 2 inches apart.

Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes, or until golden. Cool cookies for one minute on baking sheets, remove cookies to wire racks to cool completely.

Makes about 2 dozen.
