Chocolate Chip Cookies

These chocolate chip cookies are my sister’s favorite! I have tried a few different chocolate chip cookie recipes, and Buddy Valastro  did it again, this one is my favorite. His recipe does not call for it, but peanut butter is a favorite in my house, so along with the semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips, I added Reeses Peanut Butter Chips too. I know dough has raw egg in it; and you aren’t supposed to eat it, but c’mon, it’s so good!

My favorite things about this cookie are the two different kinds of chocolate chips, and adding the peanut butter adds another flavor. What makes this cookie stand out to me is the dark brown sugar instead of light brown which is what is called for in the other recipes I have tried. The dark brown sugar gives it a stronger molasses flavor. (even though dark and light brown sugars are interchangeable, I do not recommend it, the intense flavor is what makes it so good)

I can’t see myself trying any other recipes for chocolate chip cookies after finding this one. I absolutely love it!

    These are MY FAVORITE! I had to have them made a few times for me; even when I was trying to diet and cut the sweets out, I couldn’t. YUMMY!
