Toll House Cookies

These cookies are my hubbies favorite cookie,

or maybe its my oatmeal cookies that are his favorite...

anyhoo,

he is going "prairie dog hunting" on my Uncles ranch

in the northern part of the state...

and he requested toll house cookies and

since I am such a good wife...

he is taking these cookies

with him...

Did I mention that when I was really young,

I owned a bakery...and when I opened it,

my oldest daughter was only

"1"

at the time...

I know, I know,

"What the hell was I thinking?"

I'm the kind of girl

that fly's by the seat of her pants...

and after much thought (on a whim)

I purchased an old bakery in my home town...

these cookies were a hit...we made them by the 100's

I miss that bakery...

but not the long hours...
