I have tried a hundred cookie recipes and this is by far the best recipe everrrrrrrrr. They are buttery, chewy, and deliciously chocolatey. OMG. I like to use a lot of chips in my cookies and these are packed with both semi-sweet and milk chocolate. If you are a chocolate chip cookie fan you need to make these asap.
