Chocolate Chip Cookies- Mrs. Fields Style

I love cookies.  You probably already know this.  I tend to share cookies a bunch.  My husband adores them, and so do I.  It's the perfect fit in your hand treat to take on the go when you need that sweet tooth fix.  



My favorite cookie happens to be chocolate chip.  There is nothing like it for me.  It's just perfect; no additions, changes, edits or updates are needed in my humble opinion.  For my husband, he is equally smitten with chocolate chip cookies, especially Mrs. Fields.

There isn't a time that we don't visit the mall and leave with a bag full of whatever the special is that day (usually the buy 5, get one free fits the bill).  To surprise my husband, I searched online for a copycat version of the Mrs. Fields' chocolate chip cookie and found one I was eager to try.

This cookie is fabulous!  As you can see from the top photo and the photo below, the pile of cookies got a bit lower as photography went on.  Once it received my husband's overwhelming approval, I shared a batch with my family, which was a hit as well.  I will continue to use this recipe because it is really sensational........unless someone proves me wrong.  Do you have a favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe?
