Chin-Ups Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate chip cookies. What more can I say, except they are most definitely not vegan, nor are they gluten free for that matter. We needed a dessert to take to Judy's Alaskan seafood extravaganza tonight, and why not cookies?  My last go at baking from this book went so well I was eager to try again. Of course she didn't suggest using a mixer, or cooling the cookies on a rack, but if I've learned one thing so far, it is to use my basic cooking sensibilities when dealing with Alice.

Episode Note: "The Big Bet" [This epsisode has a subplot that will be covered with another recipe in the future] Bobby, proud of being able to to do seven chin-ups gets laughed at by Greg who says he can do twice as many. Bobby challenges him to a contest, the loser becoming the servant of the winner for a week. Greg, in a show of arrogance, takes him on. Bobby practices for days, while Greg lazes around and mocks him. When the day of the big contest arrives, Bobby does 11 chin-ups, leaving Greg to do 22 or lose. He manages 20 before conceding. Bobby, an unabashed victor, sets out to make Greg's life miserable culminating when he forces Greg to take him on his date to the drive-in. Bobby wreaks havoc with Greg's date Rachel (played by Sherwood Schwartz's daughter), and then rips the top of Mike's convertible with an umbrella. Repimanded by his parents when they arrive home (afterall, it might cost $150 to repair), and realizing that the power may have gone to his head, Bobby takes his punishment on the chin.
