    Make Chocolate Chip Cookies

    Whether you use chocolate chips, Skor or Heath bits or our favorite, broken chunks of chocolate you will love these cookies. They are called the Ultimate Chocolate Chunk Cookie for a reason! These cookies are super easy and quick to make. They keep in an airtight container for about three days and freeze beautifully. We always try to keep some around just in case the mood strikes us!

    When I was a little girl, every time I went to my grandmother’s house there were always cookies.  She had a bear cookie jar.  I don’t remember a time in my childhood that there weren’t cookies in that bear. The first thing we did when we got to her house was head for the cookies!

    Moist Chocolate Chip Cookies

    Is there anything better than a giant cookie and a cold glass of milk?  I think these cookies are one of my very favorites.  They are soft, thick, and chewy.  Everything I want in a cookie! I think even my grandmother would have thought these were darn good!

    I like that you can customize them.  My favorite version of this cookies is when I take big pieces of chocolate and break off chunks.  They are equally delicious with any flavor chocolate chip, or even Skor bits.

    Just think how happy your children or grandchildren would be if you had a cookie jar full of these delicious cookies!

    An added bonus is how well these cookies freeze.  You can make a big batch and always have some on hand!
