Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies

Perfect Chocolate Chip CookiesI love fresh, warm, chocolate chip cookies.  But let’s be real, I also love them when they’re a few days old.  I guess it’s more accurate to just say that I LOVE chocolate chip cookies!  

This recipe is one of my favorites!  I grind some oats and coconut to the batter, and these “secret” ingredients give them added flavor, but aren’t obvious.  They come out crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside, and they melt in your mouth. Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies
