2	Cups	All purpose flour
1/2	Tsp.	Baking Powder
1/3	Cup	Light brown sugar, firmly packed
1	Cup	Granulated sugar
1	Cup	Salted butter, softened
2	Large	Eggs
2	Tsp.	Pure vanilla extract
2	Cups	Raisins

Preheat oven to 300°. In medium bowl combine flour and baking powder. Mix well with wire whisk. Set aside. Blend sugars in a large bowl using an electric mixer set at medium speed. Add butter and mix until grainy, scraping down the sides of the bowl. Add eggs and vanilla extract and mix at medium speed until smooth. Add the flour mixture, raisins and chocolate chips. Blend at low speed until just combined. Do not overmix. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto an ungreased baking sheet - spacing about 1 1/2" apart. Bake 22 to 24 minutes. Transfer immediately to a cool, flat surface using a spatula. Yields (approx.) 4 1/2 dozen.
