The Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Ever
The other day I mentioned that I had a recipe for my most favorite chocolate chip cookies ever — and here it is!
My favorite kind of chocolate chip cookies are thick and chewy, the ones that keep their shape when they come out of the oven. I’m not crazy about cookies that flatten out, thin as pancakes, though the ones I made Tuesday were very tasty.
I’ve been making these for a while and they never fail to hit the spot. I like to use the 60% Ghirardelli chocolate chips for these.
