The BEST Cookie Recipe!

"Who are we to have stumbled upon the greatest cookie recipe in the entire world?"

I'm not kidding, but my husband and I ask each other this question every time we make these cookies.  Which is a lot.  Like every week.  

It's the best.

Just trust me, mmmkay?

They are crunchy around the edges and chewy in the middle.  I just ate two.  I have been known to eat more.  And we always have to make a double batch b/c Steven eats then entire first batch right when it comes out of the oven.  So when you make these, just go ahead and double the recipe.  You have all the stuff out anyway and you can freeze the dough.
