Chocolate Chip Cookies

Baking the season bright! Warm, delicious, chewy with slightly melted morsels 😋 There are a variety of amazing flavored cookies but making the classic chocolate chip holds a special place in my heart — baking memories with my Mom, Grandmom & my son! 

My go to recipe for National Cookie Day (today) and holidays : ) I don’t claim they’re the best but they certainly disappear quickly at parties, gatherings & in our house. Lol! Kids love cookies, adults love cookies so get your bake on and smile! 

The cookie bite is …mine 😬  A couple of minutes out of the oven, I just couldn’t resist! 😀❤️🍪 #bakersmaketheworldsmellbetter #nationalcookieday
