Everyone loves cookies. To be more precise, everyone loves chocolate chip cookies. They’re an unequivocal favorite whether they come crunchy, chewy, or mixed with oatmeal, nut butter, raisins or nuts. And when all of those delightful, heavenly variations come together in one soft-on-the-inside, crunchy-on-the-outside cookie? The result is complete bliss.
