I can remember my mom making it when I was a kid, and then I made it for my kids. Now my own kids make this recipe for themselves!<\/p>\n<p>One day I came\u00a0home and my oldest son was just pulling the last sheet of cookies out of the oven. The kitchen smelled delicious! I couldn&#8217;t wait to grab a cookie and an ice cold glass of milk.<\/p>\n<p>You can imagine my disappointment when I looked at the cooling rack and not a single cookie had chocolate chips in them!<\/p>\n<p>Apparently Cora told him she didn&#8217;t like chocolate chips and since Cora always gets what she wants from her big brothers he made a triple batch of &#8220;chipless&#8221; chocolate chip cookies!<\/p>\n<p>I highly recommend using chocolate chips (or chunks) in these cookies, as they taste much better. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>I love this recipe because it turns out every single time! You can&#8217;t mess it up, they always taste great!<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-36111\"
