The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies

Growing up my siblings and I only ever helped my mom make desserts in the kitchen. So naturally when I got married the only thing I knew how to cook was cookies! I’ve come a long way since the olden days of simply making chocolate chip cookies and chocolate pudding. Yet one thing still remains the same – I have a mad obsession with chocolate chip cookies. I love love LOVE them!

Over the years I’ve tried tons of recipes. Some are soft, some are crunchy, some are too sugary, some are not sugary enough. Some are too greasy and some are too dry. Some are gross and some are delicious! Luckily for you I’ve spent years searching for the best recipe and I have found it!
