Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

I made these cookies earlier this week and they were gone in a day.

I am more of a cook than a baker, but I crave cookies all the time. This recipe is my sister in law, Hailee’s, and they truly are THE BEST cookies ever…

Whip these up this weekend or for a family get together this summer.

Enjoy!
