I’m a slacker. Forgive me. I made these cookies a few weeks ago when my (almost) brand new laptop pooped out on me. (Anyone want to see how many times I can put “almost” in parentheses?) I wanted to drown my sorrows in chewy chocolate chip cookies without all the guilt. Plus I was just about out of all-purpose flour.
I’m generally not one to come up with my own recipes, especially for baked goods. I’ve only been cooking for about a year and a half so I’m still trying to figure things out in the kitchen. Luckily these turned out perfect. They didn’t last 2 days in my house. And like I said, (almost) no guilt. (That’s 3!) I didn’t even feel bad when I saw the husband sneaking bites to the kid.
