Mixer Killer Chocolate Chip Cookies

These got their name as such because in a years time I blew out 5 different hand mixers on this recipe including a heavy duty Black n Decker one. Use a Kitchen Aid mixer or food processor if you can or mix by hand as an arm building exercise. They are delicious and worth it.
