Chocolate Chip Cookies

Marissa Gifford -

This recipe is by far my favorite for chocolate chip cookies - they're the perfect amount of soft gooeyness! It has been a family recipe for quite some time, but the story goes that the recipe is actually from a dentist my parents used to go to (though I don't know the specifics of how they ended up getting the recipe from their dentist of all people). So I can't exactly take credit for this recipe, but it does make the best chocolate chip cookies I've ever had. I do always get asked for the recipe whenever I bring these cookies to an event, so for those of you who have been asking for it, you're welcome. Happy baking!
