CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES: CRISPY, CRUNCHY DELIGHTS

Roll a heaping tablespoon of cookie dough into a ball, 12 per cookie sheet. Take a glass and using the bottom, flatten out each cookie. If the cookie sticks, start wetting the bottom of the glass with water, they will come right off. Flatten each of them as much as you can. This is a dry dough – no sticky chewiness going on here- but it’s just wet enough to make perfect little flat cookie patties. Bake at 375 for 9-11 minutes, until golden brown.
