Chocolate Chip Cookies

What a busy Saturday! Er.. semi-busy... I spent most of my morning sleeping until 12:00pm. Good thing I woke up before 3 because I had to go volunteer with Circle K at Turning Point Transitional House in Santa Monica. I definitely can't miss an event where I can cook for people. Food = happiness. I find that my favorite event because I like seeing people well fed and smile when they are eating. Well, there is also the satisfaction of people coming back for more food.

Now onto today's post ... chocolate chip cookies. This cookie is perhaps one of everyone's favorites, or I can hardly find a person that would refuse to eat one.

There are some technical data I must go over before I start the post.
Review this item:
Cream the butter
It's a quick read that won't even make engineers small asleep.

Another important fact! Have parchment paper ready or else you will get the dark marks around the cookie's edges. I got to admit it does add a bit of a crunch to it along with the softness.
