I’ve tried a lot of different chocolate chip cookie recipes and this is the best one by far! I have been trying chocolate chip cookie recipes forever to find the perfect cookie and this one is very close. They weren’t too cake-like and they weren’t thin and greasy, they were the perfect in-between cookie. Crisp on the edges and chewy middles!
