- Cream together the butter and the two sugars in a very large bowl.
- Beat in the eggs and vanilla.
- Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

- Add the remaining chocolate chips. Feel free to experiment with adding other things like white chocolate or dark chocolate chips, nuts, M&M's, toffee pieces, anything you like.
- Drop by flat tablespoons onto the lightly greased baking sheets and pop them into the oven.
- Check them after 8 minutes or so. Depending on the pan you use, they could be done or it could take as much as 12-15 minutes.

- Make sure you cool them completely before packing in an airtight container. When they are suitable to pack, they can stay at room temperature for awhile.
