Spunky Cookies, a request from my kids and another contest!

My kids use to get these cookies with their lunch at school and they'd beg for them at home. I finally came up with this recipe. It was kind of hard because I hadn't ever had one and I had to go by what they told me. You know mom, it's a chocolate cookie with white chips in it. Hey, it's got regular chips in it to. Me, how does the top look, does it crack? Ya, it does a little, and it's kind of soft, but not to soft. They told me these were perfect when they tried them! One of the many mom talents I've developed over the years!
