Happy to find this recipe. I used to make these by the ice cream pailful and store in the freezer. Usually I would find empty pails when I needed some for lunches (3 teenaged boys). My recipe called for brown sugar, only 1/2 tsp salt, 1 cup chopped nuts added just before flour, baked at 400 degrees; otherwise, the same recipe. Not gourmet or fancy but a good, easy-to-make, tasty cookie. Makes lots, too.
