Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe - From the Archives

Chocolate Chip Cookies was one of my very first blog posts. My 4th post to be exact. It's still my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe. If I need to make a quick dessert this is most likely what I will make. These chocolate chip cookies are the ones my grandma always made - if the recipe is still around then you know it's a good one.

For those of you who are new: In an attempt to be able to spend more time with my kids for the summer, and not too much time on the computer, I'm sharing something from my first year of blogging each week. I'll just have a picture or two and direct you to the original post for the tutorial.
