Cora's World Famous Chocolate Chip Cookies!

Description: Wow! I have been trying to find a recipe for chocolate chip cookies that has a crispy outside, and a soft doughy inside. These are pretty dang good I think. The neat thing about them is you only need one bowl. No need for a wet and dry mixture. This is my favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe so far on my "Cookie Quest"! From dvo.com

Ingredients:

• 1 cup butter, softened slightly
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 3 1/2 cups flour
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or 1 cup milk chocolate chips
• 1/3 cup nuts, if desired (walnuts, almonds etc.)

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Mix butter and sugars until well blended.
3. Add eggs and vanilla; mix well.
4. Add baking powder and baking soda directly into the butter mixture and mix VERY WELL!.
5. Stir in the flour- mixture will be thick, use your hands to mix if needed.
6. Mix in chips and nuts, if desired.
7. You can roll balls of dough into small balls for a prettier cookie, but in my opinion- the texture is better if you just drop on cookie sheet in globs.
8. Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until golden.
