World's Best Chocolate Chip Cookies

These are great! I've had to fight off my kids and my husband so I can get the dough in the oven!!! I tried to use the wax paper but it didn't work (I set off the smoke alarm) so I went without. It worked fine. I only cooked them for 5 min. so watch them closely until you get the time right.

It is a very tasty roasted mushrooms recipe. Garlic, ginger, scallions are roasted with mushrooms, adding the soy-sauce, vinegar and sesame oil, they give mushrooms very rich flavor.
