Ma's Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies
"I've made chocolate chip cookies for years, usually following the recipe on the bag of chips. This one is pretty close to the recipe on the bag, but something about this recipe makes the ultimate chocolate chip cookies! Very tasty & easy to make! From Oct 2004 GH."

Great, great cookies. Very easy to make and the baking time was right on! I always use parchment paper -- and these came out perfectly. A handful of these cookies and a nice cold glass of milk!!! HEAVEN!

I agree, these are truly the best chocolate chip cookies I have ever made - they turned out just perfect. I am staying with my in-laws and baking in someone else's kitchen with an oven I was not sure of and they turned out just perfect - I did not change one thing in the recipe -
There is something special about these cookies! I don't know what makes them so good, but they are. The flavor is just outstanding and they puff up nice out of the oven. You will probably want to double this recipe because they will be eaten up in no time - at least if your family is anything like mine.

I have been a member of recipezaar and food.com for years. This is definitely my go-to place for recipes and love that I can have all my individual cookbooks to sort and store recipes. ? I like to experiment when I cook and find that I rarely follow a recipe as it is written. I am also pretty health conscious and try to cook low-fat for regular everyday meals (you can't skimp on the rich stuff for holiday meals & treats!). I also avoid processed foods and use fresh wholesome ingredients whenever possible.
