Easy Recipes – Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

It took me years to finally create a chocolate chip cookie that was just the way we liked them – crisp around the edges and chewy on the inside. Unfortunately, all of my experiments failed miserably. Some cookies were WAY too chewy, while others were more like cake.

Finally, a few months ago, I came up with the perfect chewy chocolate chip cookie recipe. I’m ashamed to admit that I’ve eaten way too many of these cookies over the last few weeks. BUT IT WAS WORTH IT.
