Julie's Chocolate Chip Cookies II

Why I Love This Recipe
I've always loved chocolate chip cookies ever since I started baking them in elementary school. Over the past couple of years I've taken different components of recipes I've liked and added a couple of other things and came up with this recipe I've now included in this email. It means a lot to me because it's 'my' first recipe. I bake a lot, but I don't really have any other recipes to call my own.
