Versatile Cookies

A friend requested a copy of this recipe again. It's the same one I made two weeks ago with my class. They loved it, everyone loves it, I'm not sure where it originally came from, but I've been making it for years. I call it versatile because you can mix anything into it.

With my class, these were chocolate chip cookies.
My personal favourite: white chocolate & macadamia
My brothers love multi-chip (choco, peanut, white, butterscotch etc.)
I've made white choco-cranberry, butterscotch-pecan, choco-walnut....

Pretty much, be creative!
