[net.cooks] Chocolate Chip Cookies

     Here is my very favorite chocolate chip cookie recipie
(Believe me, I've tried many) WARNING - This recipie makes a lot.
Maybe about 24 - 36 dozen, it usually takes me a couple of hours to bake them
all. If this sounds like too much use half or less of the recipie,
or perhaps try refrigerating the dough (no, I've never tried this myself)

Ingredients:

    2 cups  margarine (or butter)
1 1/2 cups  white sugar
1 1/2 cups  brown sugar
    3 eggs
    3 t     vanilla
4 1/2 cups  all-purpose flour (sifted)
    3 t     baking powder
   12 oz.   chocolate chips (your favorite kind)

Method:

     In your biggest mixing bowl blend the margarine and sugars.
Add the eggs and vanilla.  Mix in the flour and baking powder.
Finally fold in the chocolate chips.
     Spoon the dough onto a cookie sheet (ungreased) with a teaspoon.
Bake at 375 degrees for 8 - 10 minutes.

Notes:
 
     The main reason this is my favorite recipie is that it will 
consistently produce chewy cookies, and they will stay chewy for
a long time (with this many, they have too).

Enjoy

chip per cookie.

This a reposting from another (much smaller) net, so it may look familiar to
some of you. I recently made these and they got rave reviews. I used cookie
sheets instead of waxed paper, though (doesn't the wax in waxed paper melt?).

The recipe for "Mrs. XXXXX's Chocolate Chip Cookies" was just
published as an article.

I won't spend your time raving about this recipe. (When you make it,
you'll rave. (Enough said.))

Only, beware of the quantity --- this filled my rather large mixing
bowl to the rim! Perhaps you can half the recipe?
