I made these cookies for my kids and they loved them! They're so soft and chewy, and they have the perfect amount of sweetness. I'll definitely be making these again.

These cookies are the best! I've tried several different recipes for chocolate chip cookies, but these are by far my favorite. They're so soft and chewy, and they have the perfect amount of chocolate chips.
