I adapted this from a cook book. the original is 500 best Cookies, Bars and Squares by Esther Brody... and the original title is called dad's chocolate chip cookies. As a side note I use splenda brown sugar and also a splend/sugar mixture in mine. And I only use one package of chocolate chips.

    Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls about 2 inches apart. If making several sheets and all do not fit into oven place extra dough and or sheets with dough on them in refrigerator until ready to do into oven. This helps the cookies to form nice little balls instead of going super flat.
