Soft and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

I've had these cookies bookmarked on my computer for almost a year ... shows you how often I make cookies.  I saw them all over Pinterest and on several blogs.  There's definitely a reason for all of the "face time" they received!  I'm not usually a huge "cookie girl," but I quickly devoured ate five after I made them.  Total deliciousness.  They're helping me get over my back-to-school blues and getting me excited for the holiday cookie season!  What's your favorite cookie?
Best dishes and yummy dreams!
