2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Gradually blend in the dry ingredients.

One more thing: If you don't already do this, store your cookies in a conainer with some pieces of bread. Any mildly flavored bread will do. The cookies will suck the moisture out of the bread. The cookies will be soft. And wonderful. I only learned this trick a year or two ago and I now swear by it. If you want soft cookies, you must use the bread.
