chocolate chip cookies
(1 rating)
This is a classic chocolate chip cookie recipe that comes from Better Homes & Gardens 12th Edition Cookbook. I made the version without the nuts, but only because I didn't have any on hand! These are the kind of homemade cookies that have the nice gooey chocolate in the middle!
