The July 2006 Recipe of the Month Cookie Chocolate Cookie This fun chocolate cookie recipe comes to us from Lily N. Jakesfield of New York, who says that these easy cookies are great to make during sleepovers or for any festive occasion. The enticing aroma of these cookies as they bake is terrific!
