Combine flour, baking soda and salt.  Set aside. Cream butter with sugars until light.  Beat in vanilla and eggs until smooth.  Beat dry ingredients into creamed mixture, a little at a time.  Add chocolate chips and stir to mix well.   Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of dough onto baking sheets and bake at 325° F for approx. 10 minutes.  Enjoy! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * EASY Pumpkin Muffins These muffins are so yummy and so easy!  I believe this is a Weight Watchers recipe, but it was passed on to me by a friend.  I just had to share... 1 can (15 oz.) pumpkin 1 box spice cake mix 1/8 cup water **option... 2/3 bag of mini chocolate chips for the chocolate lovers!  Yum!
