Yearwood’s Chocolate Chip Cookies
When it comes to cookies, I am a pretty simple girl. Chocolate chips are definitely my favorite. And these are really, really, REALLY good. They are soft and although mine turned out sort of pale, they are very flavorful.
I was going to make a more elaborate dessert, but cookies were calling my name. These were quick and only made 2 dozen, even though the recipe said it would make double that. I didn’t think my cookies were huge or anything, but maybe so.
These are a new must-have, must keep, must try the recipe.
