This recipe is my daughter Samantha's creation and is well liked by her and her friends and it comes highly recommended for cookie aficionados. Samantha has a unique way to make cookies, she scoops them out onto a large baking sheet, freezes them then places in containers. This way she can take out what she wants for the day in the morning, bakes them and goes to work with fresh baked cookies.
