Chocolate Chip Cookies

Every time I eat chocolate chip cookies, they bring back such great memories for me.  Cooking with my mom or coming home from school and running for the cookie jar to grab fresh cookies and milk to relax.  I have been making this recipe with my mom since I was little.  It was always a hit with family and friends, and they never seemed to last very long.  And while you should never eat raw cookie dough, it is always hard to get the cookies to the baking sheet without putting two or three spoonfuls of dough in your mouth first :) Enjoy!
