When I want chocolate chip cookies, I bake this variation, which is full of other goodies, such as candy and peanuts. The cookies are crisp on the outside and moist and tender in the middle. —Clara Coulson Minney, Washington Court House, Ohio

I agree--very strange measurements. I quadrupled the recipe (used 2 eggs) and got 53 cookies using my larger (2 Tablespoon(?) scoop. I don't think I' dirty up the dishes to make only a single batch! They are great cookies, though, and I will definitely be making them again!

Great recipe, awesome cookies!Very strange measurements though, makes a tiny batch of cookies. When double it makes a normal small batch of cookies. I would make 4 times to get a normal double batch of cookies. Not sure why it was scaled down so much.
