Chocolate chip cookies

Since these have a little PB in them, I think I will call these Buckeye cookies. For sweet memories of Ohio.

2 1/4 C AP flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 stick butter, softened
1/2 C peanut butter
3/4 C white sugar
3/4 C brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
1 (12 oz) package chocolate chips
1/2 C chopped nuts (whatever floats your boat)

Cream together butter and PB. SLOWLY add in sugar beating until resembles mashed potatoes. Add eggs one at a time. Add Vanilla, baking soda and salt. Mix in flour until just combined. Remove from mixer and stir in chips and nuts.
For perfectly shaped cookies, use a cookie scoop and with moistened fingers, lightly press down tops of mounds.
Bake in preheated 350 oven for about 7 minutes.
