Something Sweet

I decided to start with a recipe that got a "really good" which is a rating that doesn't come very often in our house.  This is saved for things that are especially good.  Other family members might give something a really good, but Rob is somewhat of a picky eater.  Not so much in what he eats, but more in finding the little things that could make the dish that much better.  He saves those "really goods" for things you would find from a 5 star chef.  That is the reason why I love them so much!  


I was never really in love with any of my chocolate chip cookie recipes, and after spending 12 days home sick I felt like I needed something to do.  I found this recipe by looking for pictures of thick, soft, and chewy cookies on google.  They looked amazing, and they tasted amazing too.  They were soft and chewy throughout and just a little crispy around the edges.  I was shocked by the 1/4 cup scoop but they didn't spread as much as I thought they would.  You really do have to watch these and follow the directions exactly.  Taking them out when they still look way too soft and letting them cool on the baking sheet is the secret to keeping them chewy.
