Chocolate Chip Muffins

These are just plain chocolate chip muffins from the Betty Crocker Bridal Edition Cookbook. They were a little dry and short and according to Betty this is because the flour was overmeasured, the oven was too hot or muffins were baked too long. I think I baked them too long. We still managed to eat them all though.
