Cheryl's Chocolate Chip Cookies

Directions

Beat first 5 ingredients, then by hand stir in the flour, powder, and soda.

When it is dough, add chips and nuts.

Drop by tablespoonful onto lightly greased cookie sheet and bake at 350℉ (180℃) for 8 to 12 minute (careful not to overbake).

If you want some variation, try leaving out a little margarine and replacing it with peanut butter, or replacing a little of the flour (about a cup) with oatmeal.

Notes: If the dough seems sticky, add a little flour or oatmeal until it’s easier to handle. If it’s too “wet," the cookies will be flat and crunchy.
