Take a portion of dough and shape it into balls.

Bake this in oven for 15 mins. Remove it from oven and let it cool on the tray for 15 mins..Because it will get hard as it cools

Let this set for 2 hours. Now store this in air tight container.

I can vouch that this is the ABSOLUTE best chocolate chip cookie recipe ever. I added toffee bar bits as well as chocolate chips. These were a hit at our house. Thanks for the recipe!
