The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies EVER!!

I don't have to cook like a maniac today so I decided to try my hand at Alton Brown's recipe for the soft chocolate chip cookies.  OMG!  This was my first attempt at making chocolate chips from scratch and they came out so great!  Best chocolate chips!  I don't have a Kitchen Aid mixer so I had to do it with my hand mixer.  It was difficult and probably took a lot longer than it should have.  I thought I was going to burn the motor out on the poor thing!  LOL 

You can find the recipe here,  Enjoy!!
