Cookie Shop Chocolate Chip Cookies

Maybe it is because I am always listening to the radio in the kitchen (and sing aloud) or perhaps it is the barrage of questions thrown at me (my head spins), but once again I read the recipe wrong.  My bad…that ended up as my good – well the original recipe calls for only1/2 cup of chips to be processed with the oats.  I saw half of the chips, oops!  My error caused the cookies to be chocolate chocolate chip cookies…yum…happy tummies all around.

Did you happen to catch the new show on Food TV, Sugar High with Duff Goldman?  Oh my, the thin crispy chocolate chip cookie from Terri Wahl -Auntie Em's Kitchen is next on my cookie baking adventure.  Tons of brown sugar and flat crisp and soft cookies – a dream come true!
