Good Ol’ Fashioned Chocolate Chip Cookies

March 3, 2015

Happy Tuesday folks!  Wow, have I been slack!  At least on the blog.  Everything else I do hasn’t slowed down any.  Including trying to survive this brutally cold winter which is what brought on a craving for one of my favorite comfort foods, homemade chocolate chip cookies.  These have been Cookie Connoisseur Brian approved (my younger brother) which is saying a lot because he won’t eat just any old cookie.  I hope you enjoy!
