Notes:

Feel free to add extra chocolate chips for even tastier cookies! i usually add an extra cup and sometime i add extra vanilla ( That is supposed to be a secret trick i read somewhere for better cookies!)

You can also add walnuts, cranberries, white chocolate chips, m&ms, raisins or whatever else you like in a cookie!

Also if you have a family like mine double the recipe if you want to have a cookie for breakfast the next day!
