Chocolate Chip Cookies

Every time my friend Katrina comes over I end up making chocolate chip cookies. Why? Because that greedy heffa asks for them EVERY TIME.

JaySpice: Hey girl. How you doing.
Katrina: I'm good....would be better if I had some chocolate chip cookies to eat....
Jayspice: ........greedy heffa.......

You guessed it. She came over today. We were supposed to have the kiddies make Easter baskets today but plans changed because her daughter's grandmother wanted to see her. So we got the stuff to go in the baskets, came back to my place and split it. Cookies were mentioned and cookies were made.

I always make the Nestle Toll House Cookie recipe.

My little timer is a cookie saver! I have burnt many a cookie before he came into my life.

Cookies cooling...two missing...greedy heffa got to them....

END VERDICT - 4 1/2 stars

I rarely fug up these cookies. The key to making these cookies is making sure your flour is sifted and your baking ingredients are at room temperature.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you don't want to use all the cookie dough, you can freeze what is leftover. You can place the leftover cookie dough in some parchment or wax paper and roll it into a log and place it into the freezer. When you are ready for some fresh baked cookies you can pull the log out and slice off however many you want.

You can also do what I did. I scooped out the cookie dough on a baking sheet and placed it the freezer for 30 minutes or until they are firm.

Then you just put them in a Ziploc bag. You may have to wait a minute before taking them off the cookie sheet. They tend to stick a little bit.

Now you just take them out the bag and bake! Until next time.....

Happy Smacking!
