Crispy & delicious chocolate chip cookies…
Finally, I made chocolate chip cookies. This is one of the most popular cookies in the US, can be seen in almost all coffee shops and you will be treated with this when you visit most houses too.
The traditional way of making these cookies involve the addition of both white and brown sugar. I love the addition of brown sugar to my cakes and cookies, it gives a brilliantly nice caramelized flavor. This is an easy-to-make recipe and the cookies turn super crispy.

Notes
The cookie batter can be kept in the refrigerator for a few days.
Can also be kept in the freezer, make balls out of the cookie batter and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze them, after they are frozen, place the frozen dough balls in a ziploc bag and keep them in the freezer.
While baking, place the frozen dough balls on a baking sheet and bake in a 350 F preheated oven- have to be baked for 20 to 25 minutes till the cookies turn golden brown.
