This is a classic double chocolate chip cookie recipe provided by a little Chipits Chocolate Chip Brand recipe booklet. I'll admit it isn't my absolute favorite recipe for double chocolate chip cookies, but it is certainly good and satisfies a chocolate craving. My mother made this batch of cookies.
