Cookie Recipe for Tea

Despite all the lovely desserts in the world, cookies are still my favorite treat.  Any type of cookie is wonderful too...oatmeal, macadamia nut, peanut butter, shortbread, and sugar cookies to name a few.  Most people probably prefer the traditional chocolate chip cookie though.  So I wanted to share a new recipe I found this week.  This is a chocolate chip cookie recipe from the Grand Floridian resort in Walt Disney World, and it is simply splendid.  This is the perfect accompaniment to your coffee or cup of tea.  Enjoy and let me know what you think!
