Week 8: Original Nestle Toll House Cookies

The recipe I used this week was the original recipe of Nestle Toll House Chocolate chip cookies. These cookies were absolutely fantastic! They are the best chocolate chip cookie you will ever put in your mouth. They are especially great right when they come out of the oven and cool for 2-3 minutes. That way, they have their shape, are really soft, and they are still warm, so the chocolate chips melt at the touch of your mouth. After they have been out for a while, they get harder and crunchier but they are still good. However, I wouldn’t recommend you to make them one day for another day, these cookies should be eaten within a day or two because that is when they are the best. I would without doubt try this recipe again and recommend anyone to try this recipe.
