Recipe #6: All American Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Recipe #6: All American Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Posted by Unknown

It's been a tough day - my 10 year old Boxer dog, Amy, is unexpectedly very ill and it's time for some emotional eating and one of my favorite things in the world is chocolate chip cookies. I was a little nervous to make these cookies - not because the recipe looked daunting or anything but because I was recently introduced to the best chocolate chip cookie recipe I have ever had so wasn't sure how these would compare.

I had no problems making the recipe and at this point I have purchased 3 different sized ice cream scoops and they have changed my life. It's so easy now to scoop the dough and get uniformed shaped cookies.

The result: There is a good amount of chocolate in every bite! They easily compare to my other favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe which I will post separately.  In fact, it would be hard for me to choose a favorite. They are chewy in the center and a little crisp around the edges. They definitely helped make me feel better temporarily.

Later in the week we had to put Amy down so this post is dedicated to her. If she had wanted to eat in her final days I would have shared a chocolate chunk cookie with her. Her favorite food was apples and I know she is having an abundance of them now.
