Chocolate Chip Cookies

Hello, this is Room 12!  In writing we are learning how to write instructions. Yesterday Mrs H gave us a mixed up recipe for chocolate chip cookies. We had to put the recipe in the right order. We decided that maybe we would like to make these cookies at home because they sounded soooo yummy! Here is the recipe:
