Chocolate chip cookies are my favorite. Cookies are my baking brand. Yes, it is easy to screw up something as simple as a chocolate chip cookie. One day I’ll be the dad with the best cookies. When I was making these cookies, I wanted to eat all the dough. It’s so important to try the dough when making a batch of cookies. You can usually tell what you need to add more of and if you have a good batch of cookies. Granted, you won’t really know what your cookies will taste like until you take them out of the oven.
These cookies are, at the heart, a semi-crunchy chocolate chip cookie, with a delicious hint of cookie butter. The dough was cookie butter overload. However, after they baked, the cookie butter took a backseat and complemented the cookie. These are delicious and are sure to please everyone!
