Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies

Alas, I had another nephew birthday to attend! Tyler has 5 nephews all under the age of 5!..yes I know.. Oh my!

(I actually made these about a month ½ ago..so I apologize in the delay of getting this up!)

We were thinking about bringing over a toy, since I didn’t think I would have time to bake for the occasion.

That same weekend I was flying back from a work conference, and I didn’t land until around 10pm the night before the birthday party.

I was hesitant to bring a gift, since we had just attended another nephew party, and we didn’t bring a toy, we brought muffins instead!

Tyler didn’t really want me to stress out about the issue..but Derek, Ty ‘s brother and father of the birthday boy seems to be one of my #1 fans. Every time Derek calls Tyler he asks “when am I getting more of Marge’s cookies!?”.. . therefore I HAD to deliver! Luckily I still had a Christmas gift sealed and stored in my pantry.

I know you must be thinking Christmas was almost 5 months ago..what could you possibly have from 5 months ago that is still good? Edible or not!

I give you not only the recipe for the ultimate chocolate chip cookie…but yet the ultimate Christmas gift!

A dear family friend of ours, ML, gave me such a fitting Christmas gift when I went back home.

Not only was it so very thoughtful, it is a time and life saver.

These cookies took me 15 mins to make (this is including the bake time!)

I definitely plan on giving this out as a gift as well!

THANKS AGAIN ML!!!
