Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies.. Perfect for Santa!

We LOVE chocolate chip cookies around our house.. probably a little too much, if that is possible. They rarely last very long at all. These easy, classic chocolate chip cookies are our favorite. Santa, get ready for a treat!

Ingredients:
2 1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 cup butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Optional: 1 cup of chopped nuts (we are not crazy about nuts so we don't use them)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl. In a large bowl combine the butter, sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract. Mix until fluffy. Add in one egg at a time and beat well. Slowly, add in the flour mixture until smooth. Last, add in the chocolate chips and nuts if you want them. Drop by spoonfuls onto a baking sheet. Bake for 9 minutes, then remove quickly to a cooling rack. This makes approximately five dozen cookies.
