Bri's Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies

You know those cookbooks that are the backbone of your menu rotation? The ones written by ladies in your church or work or neighborhood? That's where this recipe came from; a stake cookbook that I just happened to buy about 2 weeks after we moved in. Lucky break on my part as I've used it a ton but this particular recipe is Bri's favorite cookie recipe. She made them all by herself and they were awesome!
