Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, sugars, eggs and vanilla
In another bowl, mix together the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda

With your fingers, place golf ball-sized dough sections 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake for 9-10 minutes or just until edges are light brown.

Notes

Preheat your oven. It may feel a bit of a waste to let the oven heat up empty but all your baked goods will come out much better when cooked in a hot oven.
Don't forget to allow your butter to soften! This makes the mixing much easier and combines the ingredients much better.
Let the cookies cool before eating! I know it's hard to wait but you don't want to burn your mouth with molten hot chocolate.
Don't over mix the dough. After adding the flour mix just long enough for all the ingredients to combine to avoid activating the gluten too much which will effect the texture of the cookies.

Leftovers: Store the leftover cookies in an airtight plastic or metal container. They may soften up a bit more when stored. Keep at room temp. They will last for up to a week but I think they taste best when eaten within the first couple days.

Can I freeze chocolate chip cookies?

Yes, most definitely! Freezing cookies is a great way to extend their freshness even longer. An airtight container is essential so they don't pick up any flavors in the freezer. You can store cookies for up to six months int he freezer.
