Brown Sugar Chocolate Chip Cookies.....

IMG_2278 copy These are the best cookies ever!  I know you have heard that from other people who claim their cookies are the best but I have proof.  Funny story......I make these cookies all the time. I have to apologize because I thought I did a post on these cookies awhile ago and didn't.  Anyways, I make these cookies for a lot of things, I take them to peoples houses all the time.  A friend's father pasted away and I made them and took them to him and his brother.  After having one he took a bunch of them and hid them from his brother!  Then we had an open house and no one showed up!  I know.....cry for me!  The recipe makes a lot of cookies and Mike is trying not to eat so many sweets, he said they can't stay in the house! (can anyone relate?)  He took some to his architectural clients and they loved them so much they keep asking him when he is going to bring more.  Well, I didn't want to make the same cookies and when I made the Salted Caramel Chocolate Chunk Cookies, I sent some with Mike to give to his clients.  Turns out they didn't just want any cookie they wanted the Brown Sugar Chocolate Chip Cookies because and I quote "they are the best chocolate chip cookies they have ever had"!  Now Mike, Hailee and I already knew that but it has just been confirmed.  All that was left to do is to make more.....

So nice to meet you on FF. Forget the baked cookie, I wanted to just jump through the screen and eat the dough. Your photos made me soooooooo hungry. When my husband and I were first married we would make CC cookie dough and bake a few then snack on the dough the rest of the week. The fam has grown a lot since then so that doesn't happen. Looks yum and I will try them.
