From the Toll House Cookbook - 21st printing 1945.
Cream 1 cup butter, add 3/4 cup brown sugar, 3/4 cup granulated sugar and 2 eggs beaten whole. Dissolve 1 tsp. soda in 1 tsp hot water, and mix alternately with 2-1/4 cups flour sifted with 1 tsp salt.
Lastly add 1 cup chopped nuts and 2 bars ( 7oz.) Nestles yellow label chocolate, semi-sweet, which has been cut in pieces the size of a pea.
Flavor with 1 tsp vanilla and drop half teaspoons on a greased cookie sheet.
Bake 10 to 12 min. in a 375 degrees oven makes 100 cookies.
I didn't go to check the back of the bag, but the only difference I note is mixing soda into water first (maybe soda is less lumpy now or something?) and having to cut up the bar chocolate.
