Chewy Cookie Recipe
In any season, nothing beats a classic chocolate chip cookie. Even better if it’s palm-sized chewy one.
I like to make a stash of these ready to go in the freezer. Make the dough, use an ice-cream scoop to roll up cookie balls and freeze them in zip-lock bags. Just add a couple more minutes to the baking time and you’ll be blessed with fresh cookies any time.
