My Favourite Chocolate Chip Cookies

Our sweet neighbours invited us over for drinks tomorrow afternoon for a little after christmas festivities and my mom asked if I could bake some treats to to bring as a little gift. I haven't made Chocolate Chip Cookies in absolutely forever, and decided to make my favourites.

I have tried and tested more chocolate chip cookie recipes then I can count, and these are my favourite favourite favourite. Personally, I like my cookies as chewy as they can get, and this is the chewiest I have ever had. Enjoy!
