Chocolate Chip Cookies

I don't think I'm alone in saying that Chocolate Chip Cookies are hands down my favorite of the cookie world and when they have the right amount of chocolate chips plus they're chewy with just a little crunch to them...that makes for the perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie in my book. That leads me to the fact that this recipe has become my go-to when I want to make something that's easy, but crowd-pleasing at the same time. If you're from the South, you are probably aware of the many cookbooks that Church's in your local community publish with the congregation's recipes. Well my mom loves finding these cookbooks at yard sales and thrift stores to look through as a pastime and to get cooking ideas (plus it's fun to recognize the name of whoever submitted the recipe as someone's brother/sister/cousin/etc.). I also enjoy looking through them and have made quite a few recipes on repeat; this Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe being one of them. So without further ado, let's get to the recipe shall we?
