This recipe is top-secret and only kept in the domains of the Mackay family. But I guess since you're family too, I might as well post it here rather than taking it to the grave with me. The recipe has five secrets to making excellent looking and tasting cookies. Follow them and you shall be well-rewarded.
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar (packed well)
1/2 cup melted margarine (secret #1)
1/2 cup butter shortening (secret #2 in combination with #1)
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
3 to 2 & 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 TBSP baking powder
1 pkg. chocolate chips
Cream together sugars, margarine, shortening, eggs, and vanilla. Sprinkle in baking soda, salt, and baking powder. Mix in flour, adding more to account for a humid day and if batter is too sticky and wet (a fine balance is secret #3). When well mixed, add in chocolate chips. Chill in refrigerator for at least a couple of hours or even overnight (patience is the key to secret #4). Spoon out onto cookie sheet and bake in preheated oven at 375 degrees for 9-10 minutes (turning pan around for even baking after five minutes for secret #5).
Bonus secret: dough may be frozen in individual balls and baked at a later date to satiate those late-night cookie cravings.
