Chocolate Chip Cookies

I found this recipe online and it's one of my favorites for chocolate chip cookies. The best, of course, is the one on the back of the bag of chocolate chips I use, however, this recipe is a close second for me.

1 cup butter (or margarine), softened
1 cup white sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons hot water
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Preheat oven to 350F
Cream together butter, white sugar and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. 
Dissolve baking soda in hot water. Add to batter along with salt. Stir in flour, chocolate chips and nuts. 
Drop by large spoonfuls onto ungreased pans. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the edges are nicely browned.
