Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate Chip Cookies are my favorite.  They are simple, classic and delicious!  These cookies were my pregnancy craving the last few months before Thing 2 joined the family.  I made a batch of cookies almost every week.  Sometimes I shared, sometimes I didn't.  

I can make this recipe by heart.  I feel like I have finally mastered my oven and got the cooking time for these bad boys down to a science.  This is the Nestle Toll House cookies recipe...smart people know: if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

All I need is a glass of milk.  Yum!
