Mama’s Recipe Box is a weekly column in which KidGlue authors give hints on recipes that either your kids will love to eat or kids can help cook. This week Bonnie Owens makes her world famous chocolate chip cookies.
My husband is a chocolate chip cookie fiend. He can pass on almost any other sweet treat, but he will down at least a dozen chocolate chip cookies in one sitting. Needless to say, I have had a lot of practice perfecting this recipe. I have taken a little of this and that from several recipes and come up with this one. These cookies are chocolaty, chewy and slightly crisp. This recipe makes a huge batch. Cut it in half if you just want a few.
