"EVERYONE has a favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe; this is ours. These golden cookies are packed with chips and loaded with buttery flavor. They walk the line nicely between crunchy and chewy: the edges are crisp, while the center is "bendy." Our guarantee: These 3" cookies are fairly thin, with the chips under the crust offering a "bumpy" top surface. Their edges will be crisp and brown, while their centers are softer.
