Aunt Becky's Chocolate Chip Cookies

Original recipe from family.  Liberties taken.

These cookies are a staple at my parents' house. Mom's secrets are real butter and huge Guittard milk chocolate chips. 

My mom's original recipe makes about a bajillion batches, so I've narrowed it down to a much more manageable ~3 dozen.

Ingredients:

• 1 c real butter
• 1 c brown sugar
• 1/2 c white sugar
• 2 egg
• 1 T vanilla
• 3 c flour
• 1 t soda
• 1/2 t salt
• 1/2 t baking powder
• 2-3 c quality chocolate chips (optional: mix milk & dark or substitute some nuts)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375.

2. Beat butter with sugars. Blend in remaining wet ingredients, whisk dry, mix together. Fold in chips. 

3. Regular: Bake 12 to a cookie sheet, 8-10 minutes.

4. BIG: Bake 6 to a cookie sheet, about 3-4 Tablespoons dough per cookie. Bake 12-16 min.
