Chocolate Chip Cookies

I don't have a great track record with chocolate chip cookies. In fact, I managed to mess up every single batch for YEARS around Christmastime before I finally got it right. I have the original Toll House recipe on here from a few years ago, but I decided to go with a different recipe this time around. The addition of cornstarch makes these cookies nice and fluffy. My husband said that these cookies would be good even if the chocolate chips weren't in it. Now that's saying something. We love our chocolate around here! A few of these make a great evening snack.
