Linda makes large cookies, measuring out each one with an ice cream scoop and flattening slightly. Bake them at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes. Do not overcook! Take them out when they still look underdone, and they will stay moist and chewy. Cool on racks.

For Oatmeal Raisin version, substitute 3/4 cup raisins for chocolate chips and add 1/8 tsp nutmeg when adding flour.

This recipe doubles easily and cookies freeze well.
