I never use a measuring cup, so I'll have to guess at this...
Chocolate chocolate chip cookies.
3 cups self rising flour.
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips.
2 eggs.
1 cup butter or margarine.
1/2 cup milk.
6 tablespoons unsweetened coco powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 tablespoons peanut butter.
I teaspoon salt.
That should be all. If it needs any thickening add more flour if it needs any thinning add more milk.
Bake at 300 F.
Hope you enjoy it! Cause my mom and I created the recipe!
God Bless You!

OH YAH!!! Honorable mention, WHOO WHOO!!!!
Anyways. :D
Here's DA BEST COOKIE RECIPE EVAR!!! [everyone probably says that, right? But this is true! Try them...so yummy...:D]
MEXICAN WEDDING CAKES
[also known as Pecan Butter Balls]
Position a rack in the upper third of the oven; preheat to 350 degrees F. Grease cookie sheets.
[The next step is optional. Personally, I like the cakes just fine without the pecans, but it's really up to you.]
Toast, stirring occasionally, in a baking pan until lightly browned, 5 to 8 minutes:
1 cup coarsely chopped pecans
Set aside to cool completely, then grind until very finely chopped but not powdery or oily.
Beat on medium speed until very fluffy and well blended:
1/2 pound [2 sticks] unsalted butter, softened
1/4 teaspoon of salt [omit if using salted butter]
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
Gradually beat the pecans into the butter mixture [if using]. Sift over the top and stir in until well blended:
2 cups all-purpose flour
Pull off pieces of the dough and roll between your palms into generous 1-inch balls. Space about 1 1/4 inches apart on th esheets. Bake, 1 sheet at a time, until the cookies are faintly tinged with brown [and I mean faintly!], 12 to 15 minutes; rotate the sheet halfway through baking for even browning. Remove the sheet to a rack and let stand until the cookies firm slightly. Transfer the cookies to racks to cool completely. Roll the cookies until coated all over in:
1/3 cup powdered sugar
*******
That's that! This is from "The Joy of Cooking", by the way. Enjoy!!!!
