I had a really great birthday…sorry I am just now updating. We have been busy celebrating all weekend long:) Josh outdid himself! When I got home from work he had a fresh batch of chocolate chip cookies waiting for me. They were really good!! He also surprised me with a new computer!! He bought me an IMac!! I am in LOVE!! I have been wanting one for a long time, I was shocked he bought it for me!! He really spoiled me!!

My dad also sent me flowers…he has every year since I was a little girl. He is the best!! So I had a lot of nice surprises!! It was the best birthday ever!

Today I am sharing the chocolate chip cookie recipe Josh used. It is a new favorite. It is from Nick Malgieri’s book, Cookies Unlimited. These babies are full of chocolate. They are soft and the perfect cookie, if you ask me!

It was nice being spoiled on my birthday. I will share pictures and recipes from our dessert party tomorrow!!

  1. I was going to say white chocolate macadamia nut, but Josh is probably allergic to macadamia nuts. How about something with citrus since they are in season now?

  2. Ooops. I thought this was a new post. That was my reply to your question on facebook about what cookies you should celebrate with this year. Wish I could give you a birthday hug!

  4. I like a cookie that on the outside breaks and gets those cracks but on the inside is all soft and mushy ! I have not found that yet… Is there a recipe I’m not aware of ?

  5. I have tried this recipe several times and it is my absolute favorite!
    This recipe is exactly what I was looking for, crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. And the best part, it doesn’t get stale and hard. It stays crunchy and soft on the inside. I highly recommend to try out this recipe. You won’t regret it!

  6. I accidentally made this recipe today when I usually use Alice’s, and I didnt realize till the first batch was out of the oven that something wasn’t right as these don’t spread like Alice’s recipe.
    I also missed the granulated sugar step .. oops.. lol but they still turned out good!
    Love all your dessert recipes. Ive been following you forever
