When I was young I loved the soft chocolate chip cookies my mom would make. I found the recipe lately and baked a batch. They were still soft and good. In the last few years I have found a favorite soft chocolate chip cookie in the book Big, Soft, Chewy cookies. They are delicious. Either one of these recipes will be a hit if you like a soft chocolate chip cookie.
