Ember-Kates

Emberlee and I were making some really good gooey chocolate chip cookies one day and decided to add everything in her pantry! At first I was calling them our "everything cookies." But we decided to name our sweet little creation after ourselves. ;) So now we call them "Ember-Kates." Ember after Emberlee of course, and Kate after my own nickname. But just like a rose by any other name would smell as sweet, it doesn't matter what you call these cookies...they're the best thing since sliced bread!
Here's the recipe...

Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups all- purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt1 cup butter - softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 extra large eggs (or 2 large eggs with one large egg yolk)
1/4 cup milk chocolate chips
1/4 cup white chocoalte chips
1/4 cup butterscotch chips
1/4 cup chopped Ande's chocolate mints
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
(Like I said earlier, we really put everything available in Emberlee's pantry into these cookies!)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375F.
Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl, set aside.
Cream together butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla.
Do not over beat mixture.
Add eggs one at a time, combining well after each addition.
Gradually stir in flour mixture.
Stir in all chocolate & butterscotch chips and nuts, in 2 or 3 additions, mixing well.
Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake for approximately 10 minutes, until lightly browned and centers have just set - they should look almost a bit underdone.
Let stand for 10 to 15 minutes to cool before moving to wire racks to finish cooling.
Enjoy your ooey, gooey, tastey Ember-Kates!
