Chocolate Chip Cookies

My hubby has been hounding me to

make him chocolate chip cookies.

Tonight we were invited to a party and

I asked him what I should take.

You can guess the answer.

I think he ate ten from the time they came

out of the oven until the party was over.

I told him I would pack two in his

lunch and he argued he needed five.

Cookie monster is his name.

This recipe is the chocolate chip cookie recipe mom

always used. We received it from a neighbor lady.

One of those recipes you always use and don't try any others.

It's a good ol' stand by.
