My Spin on a Classic-Holding you over for new posts!

My nickname for my husband is Cookie Monster and that, my friends, is because he could eat his weight in cookies if given the opportunity. The base recipe I use is from Toll House, but I've adapted it slightly over the years to make the ultimate batch of cookies.

Tips:

- use an extra 2tbs butter and brown all of the butter in a pot on the stove.  Let cool before adding to mixture

- Use 1c dark brown sugar and 1/2c white sugar instead of 3/4 each.

- use 2 1/2c flour instead of 2 1/4c

- use 1 whole egg and 1 yolk instead of 2 whole eggs

- Spoon into balls (I use a melon baller), place on sprayed cookie sheet, and refrigerate for 30 minutes before baking.

- If you're not using all of the dough at once, spoon into balls before storing (it's easier than spooning out refrigerated dough).

I hope your family enjoys these cookies as much as my family does!
