Introducing my all-time favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe!

It is a easy canvas for cookie creativity.

Swap in some half oat or rice flour to impart a delightful twist. If you’re on a gluten-free journey, consider waving goodbye to pastry flour and welcoming all rice or oat flour instead.

Incorporate your favorite chocolate bar, chopped into small pieces, in place of  ordinary packaged chips?  This is a recipe and playground of possibilities.  It’s virtually impossible to take a misstep.
