Will the real, best-ever, chocolate chip cookie please stand?

Here it is.  This is hands down, without question, THE BEST EVER chocolate chip cookie.  It definitely stands out above all the others I have tried.

This is a family recipe from my mom’s Great Aunt Katie.  Growing up it was the only chocolate chip cookie I ever experienced.  If there were cookies in my mom’s oven, I’m pretty sure these were the ones she was making.

And they are heavenly.  seriously.  I wouldn’t lie about such a serious matter.

Well, because Mondays often turn out to need more than a cup of coffee, I thought I would share this recipe, in case today is one of those Mondays for you.  So, with love, from the bottom of my heart, I give you:
