Sometimes you just need a big, warm, soft chocolate chip cookie. Today is your day!
*Chilling the dough before baking helps to prevent the cookies from spreading too much as they bake. ** I like to scoop my cookie dough into balls before chilling, because it is so much easier to scoop dough that is soft. I just scoop them onto an extra baking sheet, and then transfer them to a different one six at a time when it is time to bake.
