When I made these cookies for my boys while they were growing up, it was a real challenge to keep them away from the kitchen to let these cookies cool. I still make these mouthwatering morsels for my "boys" today. -Ardys Smith, Palo Alto, California

MY KIDS' FAVORITE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

I know, there are tons of Chocolate Chip Cookie recipes out there. But, my kids and I tinkered with this one for a school project and we love it's chewy, puffy texture. We live at high altitude (5000 ft.), so this recipe contains about 1/4 cup more flour than you might use at lower altitudes.
