Best Cookie Recipe Ever!

I am beginning to worry my husband has a problem....an addiction to sweets! I'm not kidding when I say this...but after I go to bed everynight, he has to have some cookies and milk! So, basically if they are not baked, he will run to the store just to buy some damn cookies!

For Valentine's Day, I was nice enough to save him a trip to safeway just to buy those tasteless mint Millano cookies, this was my gift to him.... as I was bedridden.

Here is the ultimate cookie recipe!!!
