Chocolate Chip Cookies

By jcoug03

Crispy around the edges and chewy in the middle. Just like how cookies should be. No matter how tempting it is, don't overcook the cookies. They don't look done after 10 minutes, but they will cook after you take them out due to the heat. When they cool down, they will be delicious and perfect.
