Giant Chocolate Chip Cookie

This is such an easy way to make chocolate chip "cookies".

Its actually more like Blond Brownies than normal cookies because its so thick; to make it more like a huge cookie you could divide the mixture between 2 pans {or refrigerate/freeze half for another day; defrost, spread and bake} or you could also half the batch for a pizza-sized pan.

-1 cup butter, softened

-3/4 cup sugar

-3/4 cup brown sugar

-1 tsp vanilla

Optional Ingredients:

-1 cup walnuts or other nuts
