Using an electric mixer, cream together the softened butter and both sugars in a large mixing bowl.

3

Add the eggs gradually, beating well after each addition.

4

Mix in the flour and add the remaining ingredients, mixing well after each addition.

5

Use a tablespoon to scoop the cookie dough onto the baking sheets, placing them two inches apart.

Bake the cookies for 15 minutes or until they're golden brown. Remove them from the oven and let them cool on the cookie sheets for three minutes before transferring to a cooling rack or plate.
