Chocolate chip cookies are undoubtedly the stuff my dreams are made of. I remember walking past those aromatic cookie shops in the mall when I was younger and admittedly was more excited to score a bag of a dozen cookies than whatever I would purchase at Wet Seal. Now that I’ve dated myself and exposed my dirty high school secrets, how about I just the recipe for this fine confectionary concoction?
It’s a perfect treat to make a big batch of and freeze the remaining mixture. It’s more of a personal dessert to keep on hand rather than something to serve to a group of guests – mostly because you’ll need as many skillets as there are guests, and it’s just a perfect treat to enjoy while you’re catching up on TV while curled up in a blanket.  I found my skillets at a local restaurant supply store, but a similar skillet can be found here.
