The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies Ever

Crunchy on the outside, gooey in the center.

I love cookies, it's a well known fact that chocolate chip cookies are the end all to be all of cookies. Don't try to contest this, you will not win. I have, over the years, made countless batches of cookies, with almost as many different recipes. It's also a well known fact, just like pizza and sex, that even a bad cookie is still pretty good. But the art of making a perfect cookie is often lost in translation, but we'll get to that in a bit.

I found this recipe online whilst looking for the holy grail of chocolate chip cookies to make for Charlie and his work buddies. I wanted to be the one that all those hungry construction workers begged to make "those amazing cookies" so I really needed a good recipe, cuz let's face it, hungry men aren't that picky. I can't tell you how I found this recipe, because simply put, I don't remember, but I bet it went along the lines of me googling "the best chocolate chip cookie recipe ever". What I found was this...

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Today I really needed a cookie fix. I've had far too much mind-numbing drama lately.

Enter Kristi.


I went over and we made Chocolate Chip Cookies. The recipe below is my Mor Mors, which means Mother's Mother in Danish. It's been passed down to me and it's what we use every Christmas, every holiday, and every time I wanna give someone a special treat, so treat it as such. These are cookie gold.

Mor Mor's Chocolate Chip Cookies

Slowly add flour, 1/4 cup at a time until well mixed. Add chocolate chips, nuts, or anything else you want in your cookies.

Let cool and pig out.
