Chocolate Chip Cookie [MONSTER]

I love sweets.  I just can't get enough of it.  I'm sure that I'm going to have diabetes within the next 5 years.  I'll still be shocked and dismayed when it happens.  One of my favorite sweets to nibble on are chocolate chip cookies.  Crispy, chewy, chocolate-y. I can eat a dozen of them all by myself.  In one sitting.  A 5 minute sitting at that.

I'm leaving for Lisbon and Barcelona soon so I decided that I needed to have some snacks for my long flight.  In addition to that, we're having a Holiday cookie bake-off at my work and the prize amount is $100.  I'm looking for the perfect recipe because I *HAVE* to win [please let me know if you've got a recipe that will send me over the top]. Thus, the decision was made that Chocolate Chip Cookies would be in my future [along with anyone who is lucky enough to sit next to me on the plane]. 

I had a lot of options in chocolate chip cookie recipes but I decided to go with Sherry Yard's Dessert by the Yard...mostly because i had all the ingredients and in the appropriate quantities. It was good, but I don't think this is the "winning" recipe.  Not that anyone at work was complaining.  They still polished it off...and asking for more.

Well, i'm packing up my cookies and getting ready to leave for my trip. i'll do my best to update on my trip..in the meantime, adios!
