The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies

One of the things I learned from Granny Patwell was to always have a treat to serve visitors. I am going to share a few of my cookie recipes that I rotate for treats. The first tried and true recipe is The Best Chocolate Chip Cookie. It is very similar to the Tollhouse recipe with some small changes. This recipe makes a chewy and delicious cookie. It is always a crowd pleaser
