I have a pretty good chocolate chip cookie recipe that I use on a regular basis, but today I decided to try a new one. I have this great book my Mom got me, which is called Old-Fashioned Cookie Recipes, so I thought I would try out a new one, and I am glad I did.

These delicious little cookies remind me of ones I used to get at “Treats” a coffee/cookie and treats store you find in malls across Canada. This batch is not overly big, but with the number of them that you may want to eat, that’s probably a good thing!

The Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar
