Few things can tempt me quite like freshly baked, chewy chocolate chip cookies. While I’m a lover of all most cookies (I’m talking about you oatmeal raisin), chocolate chip cookies are by far my hands down favorite.
I don’t know what makes me love them so much. It could be they remind me of my childhood, even though those cookies were likely store bought.
Or if it’s just chocolate chip cookies are a classic and generally consistent and safe no matter where you find them. Either way, if you’re baking up some cookies this week for an exchange, gifts, or to leave for Santa this is an easy recipe that’s sure to please even the pickiest cookie connoisseurs.

Chocolate chip are the official Santa cookies aren't they? That is what we have always left out with the glass of milk. I guess that is because they are our favorite and we always have them:)
