Does the world really need another chocolate chip cookie recipe? Well, if your family hasn’t had this addictive cookie, the answer is probably yes. This version combines the best of both cookie worlds: crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. It’s loaded with chocolate chips and packs a buttery, brown sugar punch that leaves you needing another bite.
We love this cookie and make it all the time. I always have scooped dough in the freezer ready to go for playdates, a bad day pick me up, or a celebration worthy of a cookies and milk toast. It’s the kind of comfort cookie that tastes like everything from a hug to a high five.
