50 States, 50 Cookies: Missouri

 

Chocolate Chip Cookies are my go-to cookie. They are so easy. These are very good. They have a great texture & flavor. I’m pretty sure they closely resemble the tollhouse recipe on the back of the chocolate chip bag so chances are you have made these as well. I have to say I don’t normally add walnuts to my chocolate chip cookies so it was a nice variation.
