Mrs. Fields Chocolate Chip Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup softened butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 twelve oz bags semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, sugars, eggs, & vanilla.
Mix together the flour, salt, baking powder, & baking soda.
Combine the wet & dry ingredients.
Stir in the chocolate chips.
With your fingers, place golf-ball-size dough portions 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake for 9 min, or until edges are light brown.
DO NOT EXCEED THE COOKING TIME.
The finished product should be soft in the middle & crunchy on the edges.
For variations of this cookie, substitute milk chocolate & add chopped walnuts or macadamia nuts.
You can use margarine, although the cookies have a richer taste when made with real butter.
