Do you know of a snack that everyone loves? I do. Chocolate chip cookies. I don’t know of anyone who doesn’t like a delectably great batch of chocolate chip cookies. Moms, dads, Santa Clause, everybody loves chocolate chip cookies. As they should, seeing as chocolate chip cookies are the universal cookie, besides Oreos. Here are the ingredients and steps to having a happy tummy full of cookies.
If you are looking for a holiday activity to spend time with your family, this is just the thing for you. The best part is, making chocolate chip cookies with someone in your family doesn’t necessarily have to be a holiday thing. It can be for any time of year and it can be a bonding experience all year-round.
For example, a few weeks ago, I made chocolate chip cookies with my grandma. We laughed and talked and it was a great memory that I am so happy to have. My grandpa was even in on it; he joked around and made it an even better time. My grandma and I have this tradition where we always get together and make a dessert for the holidays.
We made about 4 dozen cookies with our recipe. This recipe can be easily doubled or halved.
However, before you begin, double-check to make sure that you have these items on hand for you to use when you make your mouthwatering cookies.
