My fellow blogger, girlfriend, former roommate, working mom, freelancer extraordinaire Carey wrote a little blog about her cookie woes last week. She remembered chocolate chip cookies I used to bake in college, which I have not unfortunately made that often - I have been on more of a Peanut Butter cookie kick the past decade - I do make a wicked PB cookie.After looking through various places where I squirrel stuff away to no avail I have come to the conclusion that the only cookie recipe I ever used was the good ol' American standby: Original Nestlé Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookies
So Carey - give it another go. It is all about taste, like I said maybe I will be there next week and we can try it out together.

Nikki, here...Wanted to back Susan up on the Nestle Tollhouse (say it like Phoebe on "Friends") recipe. The back of the bag of any kind of chips is always the best (like M&M and Vanilla chips, too). I swear that the trick is to pull them out before they are "done" and to use a good pan. And if you have no self control around fresh baked cookies, store them in the freezer and only take a couple out at a time. NUUUUUUUM! (I don't consider myself a good cook, but damn, do I make a good cookie!). Poo... now I'm hungry and it's 8:45.
or perhaps i just buy then already formed in little circles that you pop on a cookie sheet? they are on sale for 2.38 at wal-mart....
Susan--you had no recipe. I remember distinctly that we sat in awe and watched you throw what seemed to be random amounts of random ingredients into the bowl, and then you did some magic thing that made them the most amazing cookies on earth.
