Easy Double Chocolate Chip Brownies

I love brownies! This is one of my favorite brownie recipes, printed on the bag of Nestle Toll House Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels.

1 12-oz. (2 C) package chocolate chips, divided
1/2 C butter
3 eggs
1-1/4 C all-purpose flour
1 C granulated sugar
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 C chopped nuts (optional)

In large, heavy saucepan over low heat, warm 1 cup chocolate chips and butter; stir until smooth. Remove from heat.

Add eggs; stir well. Add flour, sugar, baking soda and vanilla; stir well. Stir in remaining chocolate chips and nuts.

Spread into greased 13x9-inch baking pan. Bake in preheated 350F oven for 18 to 22 minutes or just until set. Cool completely. Cut into 2-inch squares. Makes 24 brownies.
