Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate Chip Cookies Chocolate chip cookies are the perfect snack. Now imagine those cookies are soft and chewy with a glass of milk or a couple of scoops of ice cream.

You can eat them when they are warm and right out of the oven or you can save them for a few days and still enjoy them just as much.
