Trisha’s Cookies

I title this “Trisha’s Cookies” because that’s exactly what they are. No substitutions, no tweaking, and they’re super delicious. A chocolate chip cookie should be soft, gooey, and melt in your mouth good. These are perfection. Thank you, Trisha Yearwood. You rock my chocolate chip cookie world. For the original recipe, and the source of this goodness, click here.

The love that I have for chocolate chip cookies is big. They’re probably my favorite, but I’m picky when it comes to a cookie. It has to have the right amount of gooey-ness to be good. And of course, the dough itself has to be equally delicious (or better, dough always needs to be better, because that’s really the whole reason to make cookies…eat the dough).

When I made these, I texted my mom and said “every time I make cookies and lick the beaters I think of you, and I’m thankful I never had a mom that told me not to eat raw egg. So many kids missed out!” That’s the truth…
