These are some of my favorite chocolate chip cookies! They are my darling friend Kelley's signature dish. Anytime there's a bbq, birthday party,or get together of any kind, everyone begs Kel to make these. The recipe is very similar to the currently published Nestle Toll House Cookie recipe (recipe here.) But, the recipe published when she first started making these, also included baking powder which isn't in the current version. Kelley also uses a butter-margarine combo instead of all butter. She says the margarine makes the cookies a little softer in texture. These are like a taste of home. Sometimes the original is the best!
