Grandma's Chocolate Chip Cookies

---

These are the best cookies you will ever taste! They are definitely not your average cookie with their gooey chocolate chips and they don't get flat like most other cookie recipes.

Our Grandma came up with this recipe and has been making them ever since. When making the recipe she didn't want the cookies to get too flat so she cut back on the sugar, increased the flour and only used one egg.

These cookies are great because they can be made with only ten common baking ingredients!

Notes

• Our Grandma used Fleischmann's margarine instead of butter.

• If the dough is hard to work with refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours, but don't worry it still works very well without refrigerating the dough and the cookies still taste great.

• If the dough is too dry add 1 tablespoon of milk at a time until it all sticks together but isn't to wet.

Now let's get baking!
