Derek's Best CC Cookies

Extra Chewy and Delicious Chocolate Chip Cookies. It took me 3 years living in  Utah to find the best CC Cookie recipe for the altitude and lack of humidity. Not knowing this, Derek introduced this to me on our first date. No wonder he's now my husband! The good news is that they are delicious as well in other climates and at other altitudes.

INGREDIENTS:

- 1 CUP BUTTER
- ½ CUP WHITE SUGAR
- 1 ½ CUP BROWN SUGAR
- 2 EGGS
- 2 ½ TEASPOON VANILLA

- 2 ½ CUP ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR
- ¾ TEASPOON SALT
- 1 TEASPOON BAKING POWDER
- 1 TEASPOON BAKING SODA
- MILK CHOCOLATE CHIPS
- EXTRA FLOUR AS NEEDED

DIRECTIONS:

-Pre-heat oven @ 350 degrees. Mix wet and dry ingredients separately. Mix together and add chocolate chips and extra flour as needed* (1/2 cup extra for more humid areas). Cook in oven for 9-10 min until golden on bottom (tops may not look quite done for extra chewiness. Makes approx. 3 dozen cookies.

*If your cookies turn out more flat like these, don't worry! They are still delicious, they just needed that extra half a cup of flour.
