Mom's Chocolate Chip Cookies

This cookie recipe was handed down by an ex-sorta-sister-in-law. They were once named after her, but things have changed and my son T has given me permission to rename them after myself, since I am the only one who makes them anymore.

They are absolutely delish, especially when made into huge 3 inch cookies. The rule in our house is two for snack, lunch or dessert and no more. Otherwise they would be devoured within 30 minutes flat. They are super simple to make, and use ingredients readily available in any well stocked pantry.
