My three year old son was craving for cookies yesterday and since I was too lazy to drive to the store, I checked our pantry if I have ingredients to make chocolate chip cookies and thank goodness they were all available. I decided to make a soft, chewy chocolate chip cookies.
This recipe requires chilling of the dough, so the preparation time takes a little bit longer. But the wait is worth the wait when you finally have your first bite of your cookie! But if you do not have time to chill the dough, that is okay as well. It’s just that the taste will not be as rich compared to the chilled dough. My son loves it. This is definitely a toddler approve recipe! 🙂

I used the Nestle Toll House semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Do NOT skip chilling your dough! This will make your cookies to have a pronounced flavor.
