La Kitchenette Souris: 1930s Toll House Cookies

I was very pleased to come across this recipe!
We actually have an old tin that these cookies were sold in way back in the 30s!
You can see the tin in the photo. 

They are very simple and delicious. 

I can see this recipe quickly becoming a favorite.
