    Recipe



    PREHEAT oven to 350° F.

    COMBINE flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in 1 cup Shapes & Morsels (set aside remaining Shapes & Morsels) and nuts. Drop dough by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets. Top dollops with remaining Shapes & Morsels.

    BAKE for 11 to 13 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheets on wire racks for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.

    PAN COOKIE VARIATION:
    Grease 15 x 10-inch jelly-roll pan. Prepare dough as above, stirring in 1 cup Shapes & Morsels. Spread into prepared pan. Sprinkle with remaining Shapes & Morsels. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in pan on wire rack. Makes 4 dozen bars

    FOR HIGH ALTITUDE BAKING (5,200 feet):
    Increase flour to 2 1/2 cups. Add 2 teaspoons water with flour and reduce both granulated sugar and brown sugar to 2/3 cup each. Bake drop cookies for 10 to 12 minutes and pan cookie for 17 to 19 minutes.

    * NOTE: If omitting nuts, add 1-2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour.
