Nan and Sam have a cooking day

Today Sam and I went to my mother's (from this point on referred to as 'Nan') where he is spending the time cooking. No matter how good Mom's food is, grandmothers always are the better chef.

Chocolate Chip Bar Cookies
(they just used the recipe on the back of the Toll House bag.)

Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in morsels and nuts. Grease 15x10 inch jelly-roll pan. Spread dough onto prepared pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown. Cool in pan on wire rack.
