My late wife Paula loved tea more than anything. She often invited friends to our house in the late afternoon for tea when, more often than not, she would bake her famous chocolate chip cookies. There was always some tea left over in the pot, but never any cookies. Her recipe was inspired by the original Toll House Cookie recipe, but her changes, particularly with much less flour, made them so much better.
