Chocolate Chip Cookies

Now here is something I love..chocolate chip cookies. But store bought ones..they somehow just don't make me all that happy!! The packeted ones are usually be all too crunchy or the cafe ones are unfreshly soft. I always wished they could come in a certain texture, not too crunchy at the same time not to soft. Firm but still melts in your mouth. And there came my quest for the search of the perfect chocolate chip cookie that WOULD make me happy =) So what do we do......??


YES! We hunt high and low for that particular recipe and if we're still unable to attain the "right crunch" satisfaction, we come up with our own version. And so I did, after several attempts of a bit of this and a bit of that..my dream chocolate chip cookie became was developed! Here it is, my very easy and quick chocolate chip cookie recipe. For this particular session, I've not only incorporated the usual chocolate chips, but also chocolate chunks and coffee chocolate chips.
