These chocolate chip cookies are amazingly delicious. As a matter of fact, we think they’re even better than any chocolate chip cookie we had before we ate like dinosaurs. We like to dip ours in (unsweetened) chocolate almond milk, but they’re also great on their own. We’re always finding the boys with chocolate mustaches when we have a batch in the house.
