Since I live with the cookie monster, I have to have a variety of cookies. The other week I made these, and they didn't last very long. I make sure that I pack a few in baggies for the kids lunch ( just to make sure they get a few) before my cookie monster gets them. These are a little sweeter than a regular cookie in my opinion. But, it's not saying that I won't eat them, lol. I hope you get a chance to make them and maybe they will last more than a few days in your house.

Everyone loves cookies, right? Well, I have an awesome chocolate chip cookie recipe. It is my go-to cookie. It is a small recipe, but is easily doubled. This cookie is loaded with chips and nuts. Make sure that you toast your nuts for extra flavor. Of course, if you like, you can leave them out. Why not whip up a batch after dinner and treat yourself.
