  NOTE:  I made these this weekend but changed the dark chips to white chocolate chips (I thought the dark would be overkill) and they got rave reviews from friends and family.  These came from my Pinterest Board and the link is http://www.bakerella.com/comfort-in-cookies/.  So easy and very tasty!
