Milk Chocolate Chip Cookies!

Sunday is my "refill the cookie jar" day. I usually bake a huge batch of cookies because quite frankly, my family loves cookies. Between the kids and my husband, that cookie jar is always empty. So the cookie of choice yesterday was the Hershey's Milk Chocolate Chip Cookie. YUM!
