The other day just for fun I put a photo of our cookie jar on Facebook to recognize National Cookie Day. The response was trememdous, and there were requests for cookie recipes. Since we already have our famous peanut butter cookie recipe posted, I asked the chefs for the next favorite recipe–their special chocolate chip cookies.
