Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened slightly
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 1/2 cups flour
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or 1 cup milk chocolate chips
1/3 cup nuts, if desired ( walnuts, almonds etc.)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350F.
Mix butter and sugars until well blended.
Add eggs and vanilla; mix well.
Add baking powder and baking soda directly into the butter mixture and mix VERY WELL!.
Stir in the flour- mixture will be thick, use your hands to mix if needed.
Mix in chips and nuts, if desired.
You can roll balls of dough into small balls for a prettier cookie, but in my opinion- the texture is better if you just drop on cookie sheet in globs.
Bake at 350F for 10-12 minutes or until golden.
