A Softer Chocolate Chip Cookie

I will be transferring recipes from FB to here, This way my recipes that I have collected through the years will be all in one place, hooray! It will be easier for my children to find them. I like it when they call and ask, Mom, do you remember that recipe (s) when you made __ or___, then I can let them know they are here on the blog! For me to find a recipe fast online is so  much fun and I can get making the dish right away. Alrighty then, on to this recipe!

This is the chocolate chip cookie recipe I have made the most for the last 10 years or so. But now I like the recipe that I posted before this one. I wonder if I will make all the chocolate chip recipes in one day and then get my family or others and have a taste test to see which one they like the most! I will be making this again, because I need to get pictures. Enjoy!
