Chocolate chip cookies are hands down the number one cookie made in my house. A close second are snickerdoodles. I keep a couple of go-to recipes for chocolate chip cookies depending on my mood. Sometimes I want chewy ones, sometimes the big ones that seem to not want to spread and the extra thin and crispy chewy ones. Because at the end of the day I always have space in my oven and stomach for some cookies.
So these cookies work a little different from the standard cookie recipe. Melted butter is the key. It helps it spread. This cookie is the optimal make and bake kind no need to refrigerate before baking! Try them out and let me know what you think.
