This is my own recipe which I came up with when I was probably about 12 or so. Everyone always raves about them and they do taste pretty good, even if I do say so myself. I would have to say that my recipe card looks a little rough though. LOL!

Ingredients all ready to go. 

Everything but the flour, salt and baking soda are ready to be mixed together. 

Adding the flour a little bit at a time.

Time for the chocolate chips. I use 2 whole bags but you can use less if you want more cookie and less chips. 

All ready to be made into cookies!First tray in the oven! Can’t wait!

Nothing like the smell of home made cookies to fill the house.

All finished–ready for some cookies??
