It's National Chocolate Chip Day (May 15)! And nothing epitomizes chocolate chips than their starring role in a chocolate chip cookie (thanks, Ruth Wakefield, for that accidental and brilliant use of chopped chocolate)

Chocolate chip cookies are the most popular items in military care packages to deployed troops so I make them for almost every package I send out. And thanks to pinterest, I'll never run out of recipes to try for making them. I'm really glad I tried this one because it was excellent. The pictures are just from the test cookie as I haven't baked the rest of the batch off yet for care packages.

But what a test cookie it was. Crisp edges, molten chocolate, chewy middles, caramelized brown sugar flavor. This recipe has a couple more ingredients not in your typical chocolate chip cookie recipe (corn syrup and milk powder) but if you can, I highly recommend going the little extra mile to make the recipe as is. This could be my new go-to favorite in the foreseeable future. Considering the dozens, if not hundreds, of recipes just for chocolate chip cookies that I've tried over decades, that's saying something.
