best chocolate chip cookies

There are three kinds of chips in this cookie! My husband loves them. These should bake at a lower temp than other chocolate chip cookies. If eaten right away they are crisp and chewy; if stored in an airtight container, they are tender and chewy. The dough has to be chilled for about 2 hours, so that's part of the prep time. I made 2 batches and froze one of them for at least 6 months. It freezes well. I got the recipe from About.com/Busy Cooks.

Then use a spatula to remove the cookies from the paper and store in an airtight container.
