Chocolate Chip Cookies

Wow, only been a year since I posted here. How about a great cookie recipe? I got it from an ad that came in the mail for a cookbook. There was a picture of the book opened up to this recipe. It was fuzzy and little, but I wanted to try it, so I wrote down what I thought it said, and then tweaked it for my purposes. The.most.amazing.cookie. If I were a little more creative, I would come up with a better name for these cookies because they are not just any chocolate chip cookies. These are like chocolate chip cookies on steroids because they are big, crunchy and chewy and filled with all kinds of chocolate. I try to make other cookies sometimes, but I always end up making these.

1 1/4 C white sugar
1 1/4 C brown sugar
3 sticks butter
Beat this all really good until really fluffy.
2 eggs
1 Tbs vanilla
Beat it really good until it's fluffy again.
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
4 C flour
Beat until all ingredients are mixed together good.
Stir in:
1 C semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 C chopped Hershey's milk chocolate bar
1 C m&m's

Bake 9-12 min. at 375. Take them out just when the tops start to turn golden.
