I first made these cookies at the Ranch. A former cook there gave me the recipe and they have been my favorite ever since. I have seen this recipe in a few ward cookbooks around here so maybe you guys already have it. But just in case! If you're looking for a soft chocolate chip cookie, this is your recipe. I experimented with the skor bits and pecans when I cooked at the ranch and the guests loved them!
