Hmmm,
I usually just use the recipe on the back of the Nestle Tollhouse package. The main thing is to use good chocolate, use the Nestle, or grab some Ghirardhelli double chocolate chips, yummy! Use butter, they come out chewier and add some coconut flakes, delish! Make them "gourmet" by dipping half in melted white or regular chocolate and then dip the chocolate covered end in some chopped nuts or something. Oh, and for a gift he can use later, make up a batch of "cookies in a jar" mix for him when he gets the urge to bake one evening.

You've made me hungry now. Wonder if I have any ice cream still in the freezer,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
