3 words for you – choc chip cookies. If you ask me what my favourite type of cookie is my answer will always be a chewy choc chip cookie. One where the choc chips are a little melted and straight out the oven with a glass of milk – that is the good stuff right there. Choc chip cookies make me feel at home. I don’t know why but they are one of my go to comfort foods.
So I thought I would share my choc chip cookie recipe (you are welcome in advance) to pass on the happiness. Honestly, this recipe is so easy and so delicious. I have to give credit to Tasty where I found the original recipe on their app which I then tweaked it a little bit more to my liking. I think with the tweaking I created my personal favourite version of the recipe.
