Read along for our recipe + thought behind the most classic dessert : Chocolate Chip Cookies.
Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chocolate chip cookies are a true classic. In my opinion, there is nothing quite as good as an ooey, gooey, chocolate chip cookie fresh out of the oven. They remind me of being a kid, and take me back to memories of my mom surprising me with a plate full after a long day of school. Both tasty and nostalgic, they make the perfect treat for any old day.

I like a classic recipe, but you can also mix it up by adding oats, chopped nuts, toffee bits, or even some dried cranberries. Another variation is to add browned butter to your dough. It creates thicker, denser cookies, and gives them a slight nuttiness that I love.
