simple chocolate chip cookies
being the mother of 4 young kids, i find that i must have 'cookie maker' embroidered on my forehead. i usually have to stay stocked with butter and chocolate chips to make sure i am following my duties. the family cookie jar is almost always kept full and i take pride in making them happy. one day, when my kids asked for some cookies, i was not in the mood. i made the batter, then dumped the entire cookie batter into a skillet and baked it. who doesn't like a giant cookie? i sliced it like a pie, dolloped on some ice cream... heaven. it's called my chocolate chip cookie skillet. either way, this chocolate chip cookie recipe is the basis to some yummy cookies and happy little ones... and big ones, too. 🙂
