good and easy, Member cmfish2

I used a french vanilla mix I had on hand, one cup choc chips, and one cup sliced almonds that I crunched up. I used a medium scoop and only put 6 cookies on the pan to start because some people said they spread a lot. Mine didn't spread too much (I put 12 on the next time), and I'm glad I sprayed the pans. Using the medium sized scoop, I got 30 cookies. They are good for a quick recipe, but I'll use my regular cookie recipes when I'm not in a rush.
