Mrs. Fields® Chocolate Chip Cookies

Mrs. Fields cookies that are crispy around the edge and chewy
in the middle. Be careful not to cook these too long. I know 
it becomes tempting to keep cooking these because they don't 
seem to be done after 10 minutes, but they will continue to 
cook for awhile after you take them out of the oven, and when 
cool, will be nice and chewy. Mmm...got milk?

1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 twelve-ounce bags semisweet chocolate chips

 eggs, and vanilla.
3. In another bowl, mix together the flour, salt, baking powder
