One of my favorite recipes has to be a chocolate chip cookie recipe. This recipe has been a part of my family ever since i was a little kid. I believe the recipe came from a magazine which my mom found. Thees cookies are so good it has been the only cookie recipe used ever since it was found. The recipe was passed to my grandma. So whenever we see her, she has the cookies made. This recipe is important to me because there are a lot of memories that i think of when thin king of them. Sometimes i feel like a little kid again when I eat these cookies just because of how long i have been eating them for.
Because this is my favorite cookie recipe, I want to share it with everyone. I want everyone to understand why this is my favorite recipe. These cookies are way too good not to share with everyone.

Recipe: (makes about 20)*
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
1 1/4 cups packed dark-brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips


Directions:

1. Sift together flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda, set aside.
2. Preheat oven to 350º. Beat butter and sugars with a mixer on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Beat in eggs 1 at a time. Add vanilla. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture; beat until combined. Mix in chocolate chips.
3. Using an ice cream scoop, drop the dough onto lined baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart. Bake until golden around the edges but soft in the middle, about 15 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack, and let cool completely.
