The Yummiest Chocolate Chip Cookies

I found this yummy recipe on my friend Chantri's blog. She said that the cookies don't come out flat so I knew I had to try it. She was right they were not flat at all and they were very good. My family gobbled them up. Thanks Chantri for sharing this wonderful recipe with me.
