The quintessential favorite cookie is chocolate chip.

My Mom used to have treats waiting for us when we’d get home from school, and chocolate chip cookies were one of our favorites.

While I think these cookies are great as is, dipped in a glass of ice-cold milk, you could certainly change it to suit your family’s taste.

Swap out the semi-sweet chocolate chips for dark chocolate. Or maybe white chocolate. Or leave the chocolate chip world altogether and mix in butterscotch chips.

Maybe mix in chopped pecans or other nuts. Or mix in shredded coconut.

Use this dough as a base and create the cookie you desire!
