Cream: 2/3 cup shortening or margarine
       3/4 cup sugar
       3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar

       Blend at high speed for 5 minutes or until light and fluffy;

Add:   2 eggs
       1 tsp. real vanilla
       1/2 tsp. water

       Blend again until light and fluffy (5 minutes..)

Mix together:  2 1/4 cups flour
               1 tsp baking soda
               1 tsp salt

Add to creamed mixture. Mix in 12 oz chocolate chips and nuts if desired.
Bake 375 for 8-10 minutes (or less depending on how soft you like them)  

As you can see, this recipe does not contain butter. The current nestle
recipe was changed about 2 years or so ago to have butter instead of margarine
(probably because butter is the "trend" these days...)
