Cindy's Chocolate Chip Cookies
My husband and two sons try other chocolate chip cookies and tell me there's no comparison with mine. And my husband doesn't even like chocolate! These cookies are nice and crisp, but be sure to not overbake them. —Cindy Utter, Jacksonville, Illinois66 ServingsPrep: 10 min. + chilling Bake: 10 min./batch
