Every holiday, I am known as the Chocolate Chip Cookie Master Chef :) And I'm telling all of you my secrets! I follow the recipe! Except for three things. I use real butter, I add a dash more of vanilla and I decrease the amount of chocolate chips. Yes, that's right - less is more :) Most Master Chef Cookie cooks add more chocolate chips thinking that will make them better but then all you taste is chocolate! That's great if you're making chocolate but you're making cookies! :)
