In today’s post I am sharing with you a classic and delicious chocolate chip cookie recipe. 

This is one of those recipes that you will continue to come back too and one of those that will become a family tradition. 

It is simple and so much better than the boxed options. 

Crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, you will absolutely love this one!

I normally prefer not to add in the nuts, but once in a while when I’m feeling more wild (or just trying to please my mother in law who prefers nuts) I will add them in. 

I hope you enjoy the recipe!
