To prepare a perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe, first you need to make sure that you have all of the ingredients you will need for the cookie. You can find these ingredients at your local grocery store, or you can buy them online. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside. Sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Roll the dough into balls and place on the prepared baking sheets. Bake the cookies for 12 to 15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
