Mrs. Williams' Chocolate Chip Cookies image

This was a recipe I requested from Mrs. Williams almost 50 years ago after her husband brought them into work. It was and still remains the best chocolate chip cookie I've ever had. My DDs (and now my DGDs) made this in their teens and now for their families. A real favorite that has become a family tradition. The batter is a bit stiff to mix, but worth the effort and then some.
