My Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chocolate chip cookies hold a special place in the hearts of many, and everyone seems to think they have the best recipe - but I'm here to argue that these chocolate chip cookies are the best of the best. These cookies have crispy edges, chewy middles, stay nice and thick, and soft - all without chilling the dough!
