Well this is mostly a recipe cut/paste, but it will do because they are soooo, sooooo good. As mentioned in a previous post, Carlos and CJ made some fabulous cookies. Carlos has been all over the Internet, cooking magazines and cooking shows to find just the cookies he wanted to make. So, from Disney Family Food, here they are! They turned out fabulous! Enjoy! (I couldn't resist also adding the nutritional information also!) hee hee

2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
