AKA Hayner Toll House Cookies This recipe comes from my aunt Sandy, she was married to my moms brother Jim. She would bake the basic form of these every year for the Hayner Family Reunion. Myra decided to ramp things up at Christmas and add milk chocolate, semi sweet chocolate, white chocolate, and dried cranberries. This recipe makes a lot of cookies. Of course you can cut it in half or make the whole recipe and freeze the remaining dough till needed. They are absolutely delicious.
