I have to start by admitting something. While I love to cook and bake…I have not made homemade chocolate chip cookies in over 20 years. Sure there were the break and bakes or the frozen cookie dough but no cookies from scratch. Years ago I would follow the recipe off the back of the chocolate chip bag and my cookies would never turn out right. Time after time the cookies would be too hard…too flat…you get the idea. So…I simply quite trying to make chocolate chip cookies. While I would make plenty of other varieties, my kitchen (and my kids) never saw another home made chocolate chip cookie again.
Then one day my kids were asking for chocolate chip cookies. One child was even bold enough to announce, “Mom doesn’t make chocolate chip cookies!” Yes my distain for baking chocolate chip cookies was alive and had reared its ugly head. So…what does any mom do when challenged by her children…offer to try again!
So I searched high and low for a new cookie recipe. There are truly a million to choose from. Finally I rested upon this recipe and figured I would give it a try.
