Chocolate Chip Cookies

Recipe originally from Joy Food Sunshine.

Makes 36 cookies. I made this recipe for work a few times, with one person saying "this is the best chocolate chip cookie I've ever had". It was later revealed that he was on a diet and hadn't eaten any butter in the past 6 months.

The recipe is very particular about the following items:

• spoon and level the flour in a dry ingredient measuring cup
• do not over-bake the cookies, they will not look done when you take them out of the oven. Take them out when lightly browned
• use a cookie scoop for portioning. I don't own one of these

Staple Ingredients
