The Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

Little Buddy and I have been on a search or our perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe. I’ll admit, we are pretty picky about our cookies.

Each week, we’ve tweaked our recipe. We’ve done it all. A few of the things we tried were:

- using different flours
- trying different butter
- halved the amount of butter and added shortening

Finally, we found our perfect recipe. This recipe makes a batch of three dozen cookies. It’s a good thing it makes that many because these cookies are gone really quickly! It reminded me of the song, Who Stole The Cookies From The Cookie Jar?
