Things You'll Need:
- 2 cups of butter or 2 butter flavored Crisco Sticks
- 1 1/2 cups of brown sugar
- 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar
- 5 eggs (beaten whole)
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp hot water
- 6 cups of flour
- 2 dashes of salt
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 bag of chocolate chips
- 2 tsp vanilla
- A large bowl
- A 5 cup sifter

Step 1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, cream 2 cups of butter or 2 Crisco sticks then add and mix 1 1/2 cups of brown sugar. Next, add and mix 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar and set aside. Beat 5 eggs in a small dish then add to butter and sugar, mixing completely. Set aside.

Step 2
Dissolve 2 tsp of baking soda in 2 tsp of hot water in a small cup. Set aside. Put 3 cups of flour into the sifter with a dash of salt and 1 tsp of baking powder. Begin sifting and mixing into the large bowl of sugar, butter and eggs. Add baking soda and water mixture (previously mixed and set aside) alternately with sifted flour, as needed for moisture to make mixing easier.

Step 4
Finally, we can add the bag of chocolate chips to the mixture. Be sure to mix well. Drop onto greased cookie sheet (1/2 tsp works well for smaller cookies) and bake for 10-12 minutes. Makes about 5 dozen (depending on cookie size).
