How Do I Make My Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies?

Tips and Tricks for My Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies:

As you can see, there are two different batches and they look different. 

• The thicker cookies, I used 2 eggs and the box said they were large. They were more fluffy and thicker cookies. 
• The flatter cookies, I used 3 eggs, so there you go. Sometimes if you just use two eggs and the dough seems a little too thick you can add just a little milk or a teaspoon of sour cream or plain yogurt.

• Also you can use any kind of chocolate chips that you want, or try adding some peanut butter chips or white chips. The cookies will be so yummy whatever you choose.
• One other trick that is good to know is that if you use margarine in your cookies in place of butter, butter gives you a bit more chewy cookie and the flavor is better. Margarine produces a better texture.
• When I use butter, I use 3 1/4 cups of flour and when using margarine, I use 3 1/2 cups of flour.
