My sweet tooth has a mind of it's own. It can't be controlled. So naturally when I have 3 tests within the next two days, I found myself in the kitchen making, you guessed it- cookies. Shocker. I made these for a friend who is an even bigger chocolate chip cookie lover than I am (and that's saying something). Hopefully they pass his test!
These cookies are super soft and filled with chocolate chips. Pretty much half chocolate chips, half cookie dough. Just the way I like it. They're delicious!
I'm keeping this blog post short, sweet, and to the point because you need to go make these cookies. Right now.
