I saw these cookies in internet. I thought it is nice to give our tradition cookies a different twist. For me, this takes less effort than the original cookies. I put these in njce boxes and tie it with a ribbon. I use it as gifts. I love to make these for the whole family and they enjoy it with hot cocoa drink. I hope you like my super easy recipe :)

A soft, sweet, slightly salty chewy cookie when properly done . . . my son Chris' favorite!

You can't eat just one :-)

Adjusted to make them special

We are all always hunting for that elusive beast, "the perfect chocolate chip cookie". I'm not going to tell you this recipe is perfect by any means, and as it's written it's "cookie bars", not straight up cookies - although I do have a note at the end for the option of making cookies. I make bars because as a busy mom spreading my dough out in a cake pan and throwing it into the oven is faster than making batch after batch of individual cookies, waiting for my cookie sheets to cool between each batch, and lugging the dough in and out of the fridge to ensure the cookies don't spread ridiculously.What I WILL tell you is that this recipe is my own compilation of my favorite aspects of a variety of cookie recipes I've tried over the years, and we think it's delicious. And be prepared for open gooey yummyness, cause that's ehat you're gonna get with these!

Very easy to prepare, and the cookies are crunchy. Sometimes I put raisins instead of chocolate chips and it tastes as good...

These cookies are very buttery but light and crispy. I have been using this recipe for more than 5 years.
