My favorites are chocolate chip using a recipe my DDIL gave me; it calls for 1/2 cup, yes, 1/2 cup, of vanilla. It makes about 14 dozen cookies, so they last a long time, as long as I can keep them away from DH before the company gets here! I used to make tons of cookies at Christmas, but after doing very fancy cookies for my son's wedding, I cut back. I got "cookied out". There were four six foot tables packed with trays of cookies. When the minister gave the blessing before the meal, he thanked God for all the cookies! Wish I would have thought to take a picture.
