There are a LOT of chocolate chip cookie recipes on Bake Play Smile… for two reasons:

1) I LOVE chocolate chip cookies, and so, any excuse to make them is a good one;

2) I am on a never-ending quest to find the perfect and BEST chocolate chip cookie recipe!!!

And can I just tell you that these classic chocolate chip cookies are definitely up there as one of my all-time favourites. They’re just the right amount of chewy/crispy and oh-so-gooooood!

I’m not joking about these being your typical classic chocolate chip cookies either. They’re exactly like the ones your grandma used to make – totally old fashioned and equally as delicious!!

PS – on a side note… is there anything better than sitting down to a nice hot cuppa and a chocolate chip bikkie? It’s pretty much too awesome for words!

Anyway, that’s it from me today. I’m off to do ALL the fun jobs… yep you know the ones – washing, dusting, vacuuming (isn’t it just great… NOT!). Toodle-pips! xx
