Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies

This is the best damn recipe for chocolate chip cookies I have ever tasted, and I'd consider myself somewhat of a CCC connoissuer. The recipe calls for 3 T of granulated sugar, but my sister-in-law (who gave me the recipe) swears that it tastes better if you use brownulated sugar. I find that it's good either way. Enjoy!
