Good Old Chocolate Chip Cookies
"My basic, very versatile chocolate chip cookie recipe. I make this quite often, and they turn out well whatever you put in them, for oatmeal cookies I substitute some of the flour for about a half cup of oatmeal, but of course tastes varry.
While I was living in France my host family got me to make these every weekend. They turn out soft, make sure not to cook them to long (unless you like them crisp, which some do I suppose!)"
