Chocolate Chip Cookies

These cookies are the best ones I really feel. Have them anytime! Be it with coffee, tea or just like that. The best part of chocolate chips is that they do not stay solid or melt when we bake them. They just stay in a middle state where they are just soft and melt in your mouth. These cookies can be made chewy or crispy, its your wish how you want then to be. A wonderful comfort food so go bake 'em in no time. :D
