I probably will make fav cookie guides in the future but I like to try out different recipes....so this one was new to me from a Snapguide by Chloe: "How to make Grandma's Chocolate Chip Cookies". I still haven't decided if I like them....I use a convection oven so I think I over-baked the first batch! I will see how the frozen ones turn out. :). Thanks for the comment.
