eat well after each egg. Crack eggs on the side of the bowl and let the eggs go in the bowl but not the shell. Beat in the flour mixture slowly and stir thoroughly. Measure the chocolate chips and any optional ingredient. Stir for about 1 minute. If the mixture is crumbly add a drop of water to make it stick together. Make the dough into balls the size of a tablespoon and put them on a un-greased baking sheet and spread the balls about 2 inches a part.

Bake for 9- 15 minutes or until golden brown. After baked cool on a baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove with a spatula and put them on wire cooling rack to cool completely.

Enjoy!
