Cookies Cookies Cookies.. Num Num Num

The finished delectable Cookies (oh yummy)

Getting ready for the oven..see how you are suppose to roll them into balls? I kinda build them up so they stand at about an inch tall..then round them into circle shape

The mixer I use because this makes so much dough..this thing can make four loafs of bread at once..just to give you an idea of the amount here.

Okay so after reading my friends blog about Cookies and Kimber I decided it must have been a cookie kind of week-end. Here are the cookies we made that we don't make all that often because this makes a HUGE amount. We like to share, so when we do make them we do not half the recipe (it can be for those that don't want a ton of cookies) This is the absolute best chocolate chip cookie ever. It is rumored that the recipe came from Nieman Marcus, another that it is Double Tree's recipe..I've tasted both and these taste very similar to both...which ever I don't think it matters, although in comparing my friend Kelli's recipe to this one..I would have to say this IS NOT the Double Tree recipe and more than likely is the Neiman Marcus recipe, my original recipe has a dollar amount on it that someone paid for this recipe..I am shocked that people would pay this kind kind of money but once you try one you can figure out why she may have (No I did not pay for the recipe) hehehe! Hope you feel inspired to make cookies for FHE or for a neighbor or something. Enjoy!

Add Chocolate Chips, Hershey bar and nuts. Roll into balls and place two inches apart on cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes at 375 degrees.
