THE BEST CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Chocolate chip cookies are hands down my favorite! I have a total weakness for them. Some things I can resist, but chocolate chip cookies I can’t.

I originally shared this recipe here in 2011! Since then, I’ve made these more times then I can remember. I thought what better time to share these again than for Christmas! Who doesn’t love chocolate chip cookies? If you’re looking to do some holiday baking, or make some cookies for a cookie exchange, you’ll want to add these to your baking list! I’m going to recommend doubling the recipe, because they’re bound to go quick!
