The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies
These are THE BEST chocolate chip cookies! They are soft, chewy, and perfect for dunking on milk! If you love chocolate chip cookies, you have to try these!
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!
