I was at Grandma's house and she made my boys these wonderful cookies! She said it was just Mrs Fields cookie recipe, so I got online to see if I could find one and this is what I found.

1 c Butter (by the way I figure Grandma puts real butter in everything so I did to)
1/2 c sugar
1 1/2 c brown sugar
2 eggs
2 1/2 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 c flour
3/4 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 12oz bag chocolate chips

Bake at 350 degrees for 10 min.

So I have never seen Mrs Fields cookie recipe so I don't know if this is her actual recipe, but it was just as wonderful at the cookies grandma made.
