Soft and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
"This recipe is brought to you by Martha Stewart. It makes a large batch so we end up freezing half of the dough for another time. Also, you can do this without the stand mixer, it just takes a little more time and arm work. We ended up using maple syrup rather than vanilla and it worked out great!"
