Hub's Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie

To say this is his favorite is a big huge earthshattering deal. To compare anything I cook to the cooking of his mother, his grandmother, his sisters.....well, it's just not fair.  They are wonderful, wonderful cooks and bakers.  The gift of the "kitchen" has been given to them in a mighty dose.

 I almost think he was just wanting to make me feel better....but then again, they are really good.

They are called

CHEWY OATMEAL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES.

The batter is very sticky....at some point, I have to take it out of my mixer and stir by hand.

They are thick, hearty, and chewy. A great combination!

 The recipe: (follow the steps, do not try any shortcuts or bowl cleaning savers....

I've done that and it just don't work ladies!)
