Sleepy Time Chocolate Chip Cookies

There is a wonderful B&B on the Oregon coast that makes these great cookies. I lost the recipe once, and asked them if I could have it again, and they were so gracious to send it to me. I am posting it here in case I ever lose it again! This makes 12 dozen cookies, but I make the dough and leave it in the freezer until I want to make some.
