Moms Chocolate Chip Cookies

There is something nostalgic about oo-ey gooey chocolate chip cookies. I hope this recipe brings you right back to your childhood as it does to me!

This recipe had been made probably nearly 1,000 times just by me! Growing up this was my absolute favorite thing to bake. I made this so much my dad finally told me I need to take a break from baking them; I can't blame him- I made a full recipe everyday for about a week!
