Chocolate Chip Cookies


                   
Chocolate chip cookies are one of the favorite cookies among , men, women and children. It is defiantly my favorite cookie. For me, there is nothing like a fresh baked chocolate chip cookie that has cooled and still has melted chocolate when you break it in half.
The chocolate chip is a very versatile cookie. It can be eaten alone, with whipped cream, dipped in chocolate, as a sandwich and as a topping for other desserts or sundaes.
This is a recipes the whole family can help bake. Children enjoy measuring, pouring and mixing.
My children and my husband enjoy baking cookies. They enjoy eating them more.
Have fun making and eating these cookies!
Share with friends and family.
