Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies

1-1/2 cups butter, room temperature (no substitutions)
1-1/4 cups sugar
1-1/4 cups brown sugar
2 eggs
1 TBS vanilla
4-1/4 cups flour (all purpose or bread flour works also)
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
2 cups chocolate chips (regular or mini)

1.  In the bowl of your stand mixer, combine the room temperature butter, sugars, eggs and vanilla. Beat until well mixed and smooth.

2.  Mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt together and add it, one cup at a time to the creamed butter-egg mixture. Beat until well mixed then beat in the chocolate chips.

3.  Preheat oven to 375°F and use a UNGREASED cookie sheet. Roll the cookie dough into balls about the size of a small walnut and place on the cookie sheet about 2" apart.


4. Bake for 10 minutes. They will still be pretty soft-ish when they come out of the oven.
 
This recipe makes about 5 dozen cookies
