Whether you like crunchy dipping cookies or chewy cookies, I think that chocolate chip cookies are the epitome of an American childhood snack.
There is nothing that makes me feel like a kid again more than a classic chocolate chip cookie.

In this particular batch of cookies, I used milk chocolate morsels. But you can use semi-sweet or even some dark chocolate chips. Whatever you happen to have in the pantry will work just fine.
This cookie dough gets refrigerated for a while before you do the baking. You should chill it for a least a couple hours, but overnight would be even better.
Mmmm…cookie dough!
Enjoy these beauties!

- Scoop the dough by rounded tablespoons, about 2 inches apart onto parchment paper for a baking stone, or a cookie sheet.
