Mia’s Chocolate Chip Cookies

These chewy delicious chocolate chip cookies have been a staple in my mother’s {Mia} cookie jar since the 1970s. The original recipe came from a family friend’s housekeeper. Her name was Ada and she made cookies for all the babies she took care of. The original recipe is titled Ada’s Babies Cookies.
