1 cup butter (although you can substitute margarine, you will have the best results with butter.The cookie will have a richer taste and will be crisper around the edges)
½ cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
11-12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips (for variation of this cookie, substitute milk chocolate chips for semi-sweet and/or add 1 ½ cups chopped walnuts or macadamia nuts before baking)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, sugars, eggs and vanilla.
Sift together the flour, salt baking powder and baking soda.
Combine the wet and dry ingredients.
Stir in the chocolate chips.
With your fingers, place golf ball size dough portions 2” apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake 9 minutes or until edges are light brown.Note: It is very important you do not exceed the cooking time given above, even if the cookies appear to be under baked.When the cookies are removed from the oven, the sugar in them will stay hot and continue the cooking process.The finish product should be soft in the middle and crunchy around the edges.
