BAKED BY A BRUNETTE

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

 

Since a school trip to New York when I was 15 cookies have had a special place in my heart. Most days I would have a warm, gooey, freshly baked chocolate chip cookie at lunch time and now the supermarket packets of cookies that I used to beg my Mum to buy before picnics just don't seem up to scratch. This recipe brings back the amazing memories of eating cookies, looking down from the Empire State building and taking a trip to the Statue of Liberty.
