For Basic Cookie Dough Recipe:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large mixing bowl, mix together melted butter, sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, and eggs. Add salt and baking soda.
For chocolate chip cookies, add 3 - 3 1/2 cups flour. Mix well. Add 12 oz pkg of chocolate chips and 1 cup chopped nuts (optional).

Ideas and directions to create something different:
For oatmeal/almond/cranberry cookies, add 1 1/2 cups flour and 3 cups old-fashioned oats. Mix well. Add 6 oz pkg of sliced almonds and 6 oz pkg of craisins (dried cranberries).
For German Chocolate chip cookies, add 3 cups flour and 1/2 cup cocoa powder. Mix well. Add 12 oz pkg chocolate chips, 1 cup chopped pecans, and 1 cup Coconut.
For stuffed cookies:
Prepare your basic cookie dough.
Using a melon ball scoop, put one scoop on top and one scoop on the bottom of (oreo, reese's, or rolo's).
Press dough around the sides to completely cover.
Place on a cookie sheet covered with parchment paper and bake at 350 for 8-11 minutes.
For cookie Pops:
Scoop your dough and roll it into a ball.
Place a cake pop stick (I get mine from Michael's) into the dough and flatten cookie onto a cookie sheet covered with parchment paper.
Bake at 350 for 8-11 minutes.
These would be great to serve at a party - cookies and milk. You can dip the baked cookie in chocolate and then roll in sprinkles for a more festive look.
