My cousin gave me this recipe a couple of years ago. I knew it was good, but after finally making it, there's no doubt it's one of the very best cookies I've ever tasted. Using the mini chocolate chips assures you of getting a big bite of chocolate in every bite! Following the recipe exactly produces great results! Enjoy with those you love!!
