Chocolate Chip Cookies

Who doesn’t love a good Chocolate Chip Cookie? I used to get so frustrated trying to make these. My husband LOVES cookies! He can resist cake, pie, bread, ice-cream but not cookies. Have you ever made Chocolate Chip Cookies and they spread out when they bake like an experiment gone wrong? That’s what used to happen to me almost every single time I tried to make them! One day I was making some and already had a pan in the oven baking when I realized I had forgotten to put the egg in. I thought “Surely this will be a disaster!” but they turned out PERFECT! So that is how I make them now- no eggs! And guess what? Since there are no eggs it’s safe to eat the COOKIE DOUGH! Give these a try and let me know what you think!

• Variations on this recipe- For White Chocolate Macadamia just use white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Sometimes I add coconut too.
• For Heath Chip Cookies just use heath chips and semi-sweet chocolate chips.
• Of course if you like walnuts or pecans you can add those to the original recipe too!
