I love to bake for my family! My Gramma Gertie was my influence and I learned practically everything I know about baking from her.

Even though I love to cook and experiment in the kitchen, I really don’t have the knowledge to create my own recipes from scratch. I always work with an existing recipe and make my own variations from there.

One of the top requested (and devoured) treats in my house is the basic chocolate chip cookie. Nothing fancy. No nuts, berries, or candy added – just a simple and classic cookie.
Nearly twenty (holy shit, it’s been that long!) I bought a Nestle Tollhouse cookbook with nothing but treats. Cookies, squares, cake, bread – such a terrific collection of recipes!
Well, the very first recipe in the book is the classic Nestle Tollhouse Chocolate Chip Cookie. This is what I bake at least twice a month! This cookie is my family’s favourite!
Even if you have a favourite, no-fail, passed-down-the-family-tree chocolate chip cookie recipe – I encourage you to give this easy and delicious recipe a try!

Firstly, try this recipe as it is. It’s delicious and I guarantee that the whole family will love it! But be sure to tweak it a bit and make it your own! Add macadamia nuts, raisins and coconut. Throw in some white chocolate and butterscotch chips for a triple chip treat!
Cheers!
