Sugar Drops

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375℉ (190℃).

Use ungreased baking sheets.

Beat the butter with both sugars until blended.

Add the eggs and vanilla and beat again.

Stir the flour with the salt and baking soda; stir this mixture into the batter.

Stir in the nuts or fruit.

Use a tablespoon to scoop out 1½ inch globs of the dough and push onto the baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between the globs.

Bake for 9 to 10 minutes, or until lightly browned with no obvious white spots on the tops.

Transfer to wire racks to cool.

VARIATION-Substitute 12 ounces semisweet chocolate morsels for the nuts or fruit.
