1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Instructions

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars. Add egg and vanilla. Mix well. Combine dry ingredients. Add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in chips and nuts. Shape into 1-inch balls. Place on greased baking sheets. Flatten to 1/2 inch thickness with a glass dipped in sugar. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to a wire rack to cool.
