Toll House Chocolate Cookies

Hello loyal follower(s)

Before I get to the cookies let me share with you my experience yesterday with the drivers licenses department (DMV) in Utah.  My eyes with their new lens are now 20/20 instead of 20/500 therefore I can remove the restriction requiring that I wear glasses whole driving.  No big deal right?  Guess again!  It takes one gallon of gas just to drive to the DMV office. I arrived filled out the required form and got my ticket to wait my turn.  "You need some more information before we can make the Change." said the bureaucrat.  He mentioned valid Passport,  Social Security card, certified birth certificate,  1099 form or Pay stub or Social Security 1099 with name and social security number.  So back home I went (another gallon of gas) certainly I have one of the above.  I grabbed my passport and just for the fun of it I brought my birth certificate. Another gallon of gas and I was back to the DMV office only to be told it was AND not OR of what I needed.  So another gallon of gas just to get home, I was livid.  So here it is Friday night and I am sitting at Mc Donald's writing this blog, still with glasses restriction on my drivers license.   WHY DID I BRING THIS UP YOU MIGHT ASK??? Think of all the poor and/old people  trying to fight the bureaucrats to just get a card to VOTE.  Can you imagine how easy it will be to keep them running back and forth until they give up??

Now back to the  cookies,  I started with the recipe on the chocolate chip package, and of course made several changes:  I am proud with how well then came out.

Here I am with part of the ingredients and of course my heavy duty mixer.

It was time to mix the dry mix into the wet mix, and with the heavy duty mixer, it was possible to mix in the nuts and the chocolate chips.

Cookies at about five minutes of baking

Using a tablespoon i just dropped globs of dough onto the parchment paper.

Here are  the finish cookies in various stages of cooling.  It took a little over an hour to make this recipe (about same time it takes Cyndy to do it)




Recipe follows, and I will get my license changed next monday.
