*These are my mother-in-law Judy's cookies and they are the best chocolate chip cookies. James was craving these the other night so we got the recipe from her, I hope she doesn't mind me sharing it. She says the real secret to them is hand mixing it and not using a mixer. The batch is quite large, so we divide it up and put half of the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate it. I like my cookies well done so I cook them longer, James likes his gooey (or soft) so I found that 14-15 minutes was perfect for him.
