DIY Nestle' Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookies!

My family is crazy about cookies! We go through cookies so fast it's ridiculous and expensive. I decided that a great way of saving money would be to make the cookies myself, from scratch. What's great about making your own, most of the ingredients last a long time. Plus they yield way more than you get from buying them from a store and you know exactly what's in them.
