Aunt Julie's Chocolate Chip Cookies

Aunt Julie's Chocolate Chip Cookies

Julie has been making these cookies for years. They are practically perfect in every way...just like Julie herself!  I love Aunt Julie for all she does for everyone, for her kind and generous soul, for her thoughtfulness as well as for her delicious chocolate chip cookies.  Everyone should be lucky enough to have an Aunt Julie!  P.S.  This recipe got posted tonight because I got a phone call from a darling girl, Summer, in Alabama.  She talked to Elder Ingersoll and he told her to call and get the recipe.  How fun is that!  Good luck Summer!
