Holiday Baking 2012: Chocolate Chip Cookies

I decided to post a mini baking series to accompany my holiday prep series this year. I've received so many requests to post this recipe I knew it had to be part of my first (hopefully annual!) Holiday Baking series. I make these chocolate chip cookies for most ever holiday & every family gathering as take home goodies. I'm sure your family will love it, too! I have pasted the recipe below as well as the link to it on my pinterest page. Please let me know what you think if you decide to try this recipe out! Thanks for watching :)

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Note: Recipe adapted from Martha Stewart Living Magazine Holiday Cookies 2005
http://www.marthastewart.com/344840/soft-and-chewy-chocolate-chip-cookies
Makes about 42 cookies

2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
½ cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup m&ms

Preheat oven to 350°. Place racks in the center of oven

Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt and set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter with both sugars, beating on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla. Reduce speed to low. Add the flour mixture a little bit at a time, mixing until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips and m&ms.

Use a 1 ¾" diameter cookie scoop to measure out dough and place on parchment lined baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.

Bake for 7-8 minutes, rotate cookie sheets, and then bake an additional 7 to 8 minutes until cookies are golden around the edges, but still soft in the center. Remove from oven, and let cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks. Allow 1-2 hours to cool completely. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.
