Who doesn’t like chocolate chip cookies?

For everyone who came up with an actual answer, I am going to ignore them. Almost everyone loves chocolate chip cookies! A warm, melty cookie right out of the oven is second to none, especially when paired with a nice glass of cold milk. While there is some debate on what cookie is the best, allow me to submit the chocolate chip cookie.

I am not talking about a Chips Ahoy cookie that you could probably break a countertop with, but rather a homemade cookie, where you can taste every ingredient and ounce of care put into them. Without a doubt, these are the cookies that I can rely on to be good and keep people coming back for more.

Cookies are the perfect gift to bring to someone who is graduating, or the perfect reward for finishing college if you are making them yourself. Maybe you could even try and slip one of these cookies under your graduation robes for a snack during the ceremony.

Hope you enjoy it!
