At Home: Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies

Keith loves a classic chocolate chip cookie.  I mean, who doesn't, right?  I have seen many different interpretations, from thin and crispy to soft and chewy.  Some are loaded with chocolate chips, some have just a sprinkling.  Certain recipes use baking powder while others use baking soda.  Some swear by chilling the dough before baking, while I prefer a quicker no-fuss approach.  I am never one to turn down a cookie, however, and I wanted to find the perfect combination to feature on What Micky Eats...At Home.  These are soft and chewy on the inside, but still firm to the touch with lots of chocolate chips and use the simplest steps - making Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies.
