I made the most delicious chocolate chip cookies last night!  Really, is there any better smile-maker than a hot out of the oven chocolate chip cookie?  Mmmm!

For a change, I made these almost exactly as the directions state here.  Ha.  But this recipe is truly so fantastic and I am thrilled with the results.  D-lish! 




I know I've mentioned this before but I can't tell you enough how much I recommend this tiny tip.  You see the tray of dough balls?  I actually pulled that out of the freezer for the photo op.  You see, when I make cookies, I make only a few at a time.  The rest of the dough is frozen into balls on a cookie sheet.  Once frozen for a bit, I toss them into a big zip top baggie that's kept in the freezer door. 

This serves several purposes.  First, it prevents me from eating an entire batch of cookies by myself.  Because I would!  Second, it allows me to make every cookie a hot from the oven treat.  When I want to bake one or two or an entire batch, I just take them directly from the freezer and bake them as normal.  No defrosting needed.  So if I want to bake just one...I do!  And third, it makes for a quick and easy treat for unexpected moments.  Friends pop in for a visit or a someone is having a bad day...just bake a few cookies!

I use an ice cream scooper but need to find something smaller.  As much as I love a giant cookie, I need to not eat giant cookies!
