Not-so secret Crispy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Twenty-three years ago these cookies were delivered to my door after the birth of my daughter.  My friend would not share the recipe as it was a family recipe, BUT with a little perseverance, I finally discovered a recipe that leads me to believe the secret is out!!                 Enjoy!!

7.            Bake at 350° F for  10-12 minutes...or until lightly browned.
