Christine's Cookies
I may be extremely bias but my mom makes THEE best chocolate chip cookies. It is tried and true! Everyone loves my mom’s cookies; neighbors, friends, mission companions + leaders, church members, school teachers + professors, the list goes on. And they always ask what her secret is. Lucky for you her recipe is not a secret which means we’re sharing it with you!
I’ve been watching her make cookies for 24 years but I had never learned how to make them. Well a few weeks ago I made some with my mom and took notes so I’d always have the step-by-step and how to when it comes to making Christine’s cookies. I feel okay sharing my mom’s recipe on here because she has shared it with neighbors and friends. And everyone that tries to make her cookies can never get them exactly right so they always ask, “what’s the secret??”… the only thing is, there is no secret! I like to think that it’s cause they’re Christin'e’s cookies, so no one else can make them like her! So good luck! :)
