Ingredients
2 sticks of soft butter (1/2 pound)
2 1/2 cups of all purpose flour
2 eggs
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
12 ounces semi-sweet choc chips
1 tablespoon essence of orange (cointreau works best I think)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preparation
Mix all ingredients in a medium sized mixing bowl until smooth and consistent. For best results refrigerate for a couple of hours but not necessary. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Roll cookies into golf ball sized morsels in hands or with ice cream scoop. Place on cool tray and bake in oven for 12 minutes. Should spread to about 4 inches. Remove, allow to cool slightly and gobble them up like naughty children!
