Chocolate Chip Cookies are simply the best. Does anything smell better than a cup of coffee and freshly made cookies early in the morning? I certainly do not think so.

I can tell you one thing, my kitchen smelled divine this morning. As I was pulling my Chocolate Chip Cookies out of the oven for my children’s school snack, my coffee finished brewing.

It was a rather chilly morning. I put my sweater on and walked out to enjoy the crisp fresh air with my hot coffee and warm cookies.

What an amazing morning; peaceful, delicious and most certainly warm!

These chocolate chip cookies are just perfect for a snack or dessert. Of course, they are amazing with a mug of coffee, a warm cup of tea or perhaps to have something sweet just to kill the cravings.

You can add chips or chunks, maybe break into pieces your favorite chocolate bars, such as Hershey’s or Dove.

My family really loves dark chocolate. However, every now and then these inexpensive chunks serve a great purpose for baking, of course, ahem midnight snack too!

Chocolate chips are one of the most beloved cookies in my house, and I assume in so many of your houses.

When you have kids, especially young ones prepping and baking cookies and phenomenal bonding between parents or grandparents and kids. You could be a cool rock star aunt or uncle when you spend some time making cookies with your nieces and nephews.

In my humble opinion, there is nothing more special than creating happy memories with young ones. Unplug yourself from social media and do just that espcially over the holiday season. Well, you can thank me later!
