Making Chewy American style Cookies at home (in any flavour imaginable) is a dream come true for me! This kind of cookie, for me, will always have an association with cookie stands at shopping centres, and paying an arm and a leg for just one cookie!
This recipe is reasonably inexpensive to make, and is mostly store cupboard staples. The only thing ingredient I have to buy in is the chocolate chips as I would just eat them on their own if I kept a stock!
I have made orange cookies with dark chocolate chips, but other faves are:
Raspberry and dark chocolate
Lemon and white chocolate
Salted Caramel and any chocolate
Rum and Raisin with raisins instead of chocolate chips
