Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder

1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine , softened (we recommend LAND O LAKES® Butter)

Directions:
PREHEAT oven to 350º F.
COMBINE flour, baking powder and salt in small bowl. Beat sugar, butter and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy. Beat in egg. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in 1 cup morsels. Press enough dough into greased and floured tablespoon to make slightly rounded. Invert onto ungreased baking sheets. Continue with remaining dough.
BAKE for 10 to 12 minutes or just until golden around edges. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
