Aunt Jocile's Cookies

Aunt Jocile Walsh's chocolate chip cookies. Apparently this recipe is from Betty Crocker. You can also use margarine instead of butter. For a softer, rounder cookie, add in 1/3 cup more flour. Original recipe says to bake 8-10 minutes or until light brown--Aunt Jocile's notes say she does 9 min.
