The other day, before setting off for work, my husband asked if I could bake some cookies. He specifically did request these Peanut Butter Cookies as they are his ultimate favourite, but I needed a chocolate fix, so I decided on Chocolate Chip Cookies instead.
This Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe has made regular rotations through my kitchen for over 20 years. I think I could make these in my sleep.
This soft and chewy cookie is loaded with chocolate chips so you get delectable chocolate in each bite. I use semi sweet chocolate chips as we prefer the taste of dark chocolate, but milk chocolate chips are equally delicious if that is what your family prefers.
Tip: Chill the dough for about 30 minutes before forming into balls and baking to prevent excessive spreading. I make the cookie balls about the size of a ping pong ball which will give you a 2 1/2 inch cookie when baked.
