Personal Notes:
Once my Mom made this recipe once in the 90s (while Clinton was First Lad) she never went back. She even kept the original newspaper clipping! Politics aside, this is a dang good chocolate chip cookie recipe and one I am always requesting from my mom. I love her addition of pecans. Just delicious!
