I just heard on the news that it is National Chocolate Chip Day, so don't forget to eat some chocolate today!
By far, this is the best recipe to date, for the perfect chocolate chip cookie. Also very easy to make.

This famous classic American cookie is a treat no matter what the age or occasion. Enjoy it with a glass of cold milk.

    I like raisins too. I always mix and match the dough with Oats, raisins, and chocolate chips!
