My oldest was supposed to march in our Christmas parade today. But, the weather did not cooperate and the parade was postponed. So, I used my time wisely and made some cookies! I rarely make cookies because I don't have the patience to stand over my oven batch after batch. But, it is always worth the effort.
Today I made a batch and a half of these Chocolate Cookies to share with friends tomorrow. This is a great basic chocolate cookie recipe. It works well with chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, butterscotch chips, white chocolate chips, and mint chips. I have tried all kinds of variations over the years and they are always tasty. Today I used semi-sweet chocolate chips and my kids have been trying to sneak them like crazy. I hope that there are still plenty left for my friends tomorrow!
