Zippy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground white pepper
• 3 cups semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).

Cream butter or margarine and sugars. Add already beaten eggs and vanilla.

Mix dry ingredients together and mix with creamed mixture. Add chocolate chips and nuts.

Bake 8 to 10 minutes until done. These are not HOT HOT — Just a little surprise, definitely a little kick, goes well with the chocolate.
