I think there is nothing better than a warm chocolate chip cookie. They are so easy to make and are just one of those comfort foods that you can’t go wrong with. Whether you are bringing them to work or a picnic or just simply enjoying them for yourself, give this recipe a try.

A couple of things I want to mention. I pulled out my cookies a minute before the desired time (11 minutes). I let them sit on the stovetop for that remaining minute knowing they would continue to cook. I like my cookies to be more on the soft side versus too crispy.
Also, you can add other ingredients if you like. Such as nuts, raisins, or even coconut. The skies the limit. Have fun with it and experiment and most of all…..enjoy! 🙂
