The best chocolate chip cookies in the world

Happy birthday Grammy!

My Grammy passed away nine years ago from acute lymphocytic leukemia, and not a day goes by that I don’t think about her… my mommy’s mommy. Among many incredible things, she was a great baker! I make these chocolate chip cookies every few weeks, and everyone who tries them asks for the recipe. They are that good. But don’t cheap out on the Ghirardelli chocolate bars. Grammy made them small and crunchy, while I make them bigger and softer. Both are great—it depends on what mood you are in. Thank me later!

my cousins spent a lot of time in this kitchen. we always fought over the beater… looks like I won on this day
