Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

This is the cookie recipe you will make so many times you will stop needing to look it up. They come out chewy in the center and slightly crisp at the edges and kids can help mix the dough and scoop the balls. One batch makes enough to eat now and freeze some for later, which is the kind of planning
