Who doesn’t love chocolate chip cookies?! When I got married I made chocolate chip cookies for my new husband after finding out chocolate chip cookies were his favorite cookie. I used the recipe on the back of the chocolate chip bag and his response was “they’re not my Mom’s chocolate chip cookie”. Of course, my feelings were hurt and I didn’t make him chocolate chip cookies for a while. I eventually asked his Mom for her recipe and have been making her chocolate chip cookies ever since. This is her recipe, which has become a family favorite. I hope you enjoy these cookies as much as we do.

  1. Hi Debbie, me and my husband came and stayed at your lodge last year for our vacation. We tried the cookies that you put in our room and it was amazing. After that, we went home and my husband miss the taste of your cookies throughout the year.
