This is my new favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe.   It popped up on my Facebook page and I decided to try it.  Yummy!  

After I made this for the first time, they were a little bit flat.  Because I live at a high elevation (Utah) I decided to add an extra 1/4 cup of flour.  I also put the cookie dough in the refrigerator for 1 hour before I cooked it.  It seemed to help the cookies not be so flat.
