Best Chocolate Chip Cookies-23

‘Tis the season for Christmas baking!  And chocolate chip cookies are a must for any cookie tray.

And these are THE BEST chocolate chip cookies!   Big, thick, crispy edges, chewy middle. Yum! How do I know….because I have tried a gazillion recipes….AND over 5,500 of my closest friends on AllRecipes.com agree with me.  That is because this recipe was adapted from The Best Chocolate Chip cookie recipe on AllRecipes.com.

I tweaked it some to make it my own by adding some cream of tartar to give the top of the cookies a nice crackly appearance on top, and adding some chopped pecans. Sometimes I change it up by making different variations such as adding peanut butter chips in this version.

    I love chocolate chip cookies! I’ve never used cream of tartar before…I’m not even sure we have that. I’ll have to add it to my next grocery list and give these a try! Visiting from the Lovely Ladies Linky!
