My favorite chocolate chip cookies. This is the cookie recipe my great grandmother started me on. It holds a special place in my heart and stomach. These chocolate chip cookies are unbelievably soft, chewy and wonderfully buttery.
I know what you are thinking. There are already a million chocolate chip cookie recipes out there and about twice as many different ways to make them. Why am I posting one here? Sometimes you need to make something super simple and basic and that really hits home with you. That's these cookies. They aren't fancy. I will never claim something preposterous like them being THE BEST CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE YOU WILL EVER MAKE. EVER!!! In fact, I would never claim that about any recipe. We all have our own definition of the best and they aren't always the same. Instead, these are my personal favorite cookies.
They are....
Buttery
Crispy on the edges
Unbelievably chew in the middle
Chocolaty
A little Salty
Exactly how I like my cookies. These are the cookies I make when I want comfort food. When I want to send something home with any guests. My go-to dessert for basically anything at any time. There isn't any trick to my chocolate chip cookies to make them extra this or that. Just a bit of extra vanilla and an extra dash of love (I am so corny, I know). They are extraordinarily ordinary, and yet completely amazing.
Just the kind of treat you need for your Monday.
