WHEN YOU NEED TO MAKE A BIG OLD BATCH OF CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES!
We live in Utah, where we celebrate Pioneer Day, honoring the pioneers who founded our state. When I have kids to celebrate with, I make this recipe and spread the dough into circles about 8" in diameter. When they bake up they resemble the buffalo chips pioneer children used to gather for firewood. I hide them in baggies and the kids search for them.
The rest of the year this recipe will make about 100 4 inch cookies.
