Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Let's face it - everyone has a favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe.  Even my non-baker friends make their way to the kitchen to bake the occasional batch of chocolate chip cookies.  

Chocolate chip cookies are as personal and individual as the people who make them.  There are thick and thin versions, crispy and chewy cookies, cookies with nuts, coconut, oats and fruit and cookies with dark chocolate and milk chocolate and semi sweet chocolate.  I've tried a LOT of different chocolate chip cookie recipes and honestly there hasn't been any that I didn't like.  As long as a cookie has chocolate - I'm in.  

I tried this new version of chewy chocolate chip cookies out on my family this week.  There were no complaints.  Just lots of mmmmmm and yummmm.
