"Best Chocolate Chip Cookies"

This afternoon while Derek was working on homework he was wanting some cookies and we didn't have any in the cabinet so I decided to make some for him. At first I didn't think we had any chocolate chips, so I was going to make oatmeal cookies and then while I was digging around looking for the brown sugar, I found the chocolate chips and then decided to make a quick turn around and go back to making chocolate chip cookies. The last time we made cookies we did the Nestle Toll House recipe but we didn't really like them all that much, so after a Google search, I found this recipe that claimed to be the best chocolate chip cookies, and Derek and I both agreed that we like these much better!

These even look better then the Nestle Toll House Recipe!
