Kitchen Basics: Chocolate Chip Cookies

Everyone should have an easy, go-to cookie that they can bake in a flash.

Mine are the chocolate chip variety.

What I like to do is stock up on different nut and chocolate chip varieties, so that there are options even when making them last minute. Last week we tried the Nestle Toll-House Espresso morsels. It’s really just about whatever you want to try or prefer. This recipe is sure to taste great regardless of what mix-ins you chose. Enjoy!
