World’s Greatest Chocolate Chip Cookies
I think you should know by now I’m not one who is choosy about food, especially desserts. I like everything! But nothing screams comfort food quite like the World’s Greatest Chocolate Chip Cookies.

The perfect chocolate chip cookie is a lot more than one would think.
It has to have a slightly crisp outside edge, but still an ooey-gooey soft center.

The perfect cookie has to be flat, just the right size, and golden brown.
Which is accomplished by the right combination of butter to sugar.
A mix of both brown and white sugar.
And a mix of softened and slightly melted butter.

Don’t forget about the chocolate chips.
It has to have the right amount!
I love to use mini semi-sweet chips. It spreads throughout the cookies, but isn’t overpowering. You can still taste the rest of the deliciousness (aka… that butter and sugar combo we talked about earlier).

In all honesty, these cookies are perfect with whatever type or amount of chocolate chips that fit your fancy.
Milk chocolate or Semi Sweet.
Mini or Regular.
A lot or A few.
I’ve even broken the rules completely and thrown in a handful of M&M’s!

This recipe makes a small batch.
It makes me feel less guilty when I eat 2 right out of the oven.
Alright.
That was a lie.
I eat about 5.
They don’t last long in this house.
