It seems I'm in a recipe sharing mood lately. This is another of my sons favorite recipe's ever. It's different than toll house and not as sweet and that's why it's my sisters favorite because she sometimes doesn't feel like eating such a sweet cookie. These are a great cookie :)

I guess I just feel like baking more when the cool weather hits. I enjoy turning on the oven more... :) I also drag out my Cappuccino maker.
