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:
