I only make perfect cookies when I'm dieting

You know what's fun? Baking cookies while dieting. I couldn't help myself. We had no yummies in the house and between a week of consecutive snow-sleet flurries, and me packing up their stuff, my little guys needed a little home baked lovin.
Meanwhile, I am in the homestretch of a pretty gnarly diet. I usually don't mind baking regardless of dieting, but today I've been adoring those chocolaty babies from afar. I even sniffed a few.
If you use this recipe, you never have to worry about flat chocolate chip cookies ever again. Here ya go:
Preheat 360 ( yes, 360 )
2 stick room temperature butter
1 1/2 Cups brown sugar
1/2 Cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
3/4 Cup of bittersweet chocolate chips
3/4 Cup milk chocolate chips (a combination of chips are so worth it, guys!)
*Combine these ingredients in a mixing bowl, set aside.
In a separate bowl, combine:
3 Cups Flour
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
I usually put all the dry ingredients into a sieve and gradually sift it into the wet.
Once all combined, let the dough rest for 10 min. I don't know why this works, but it does.
spoon onto cookie sheet and bake 10-12 min.
Then find yourself a snazzy moving box like I did, which makes the presentation all spiffy- ha!
