    these are the best I have made in my 3yr journey to find an excellent chocolate chip cookie. ย I love the fact that the crispness depends on how much I flatten the cookie! ย I share this with everyone looking for a chocolate chip cookie recipe.

    You guys, these are amazing! I enjoy healthy food and family doesnโ€™t but I was able to get them to eat these and they came back for more multiple times and even asked me to make them again! Iโ€™ve made this super easy recipe 3x in 3 days and it takes under 20 minutes or so start to finish so canโ€™t beat that at all!ย
