Choc Chip Cookies

09/10/04

This actually is the recipe my Mom made for me as a kid. However I got it in a roundabout method. Mom had lost the recipe over the years, but remembered she had given it to her friend Betty. However Betty had lost it, but had given it to her son Victor. So Victor passed it down the line and I finally have it! Thanks Vic!
