Weekly Recipe: Chocolate Drop Cookies

These are my children's favorite cookies and they were my favorite cookies as a kid too.  My mom made them a lot and still does.  Every grand kid expects these cookies when they come to her house.  Our children's friends that come over to our house request these cookies also.
