Classic Chips Ahoy Recipe
I’m a lady who unabashedly prefers her cookies thin, chewy, and intoxicatingly buttery. If I want a hunk of cake, I go for the cake section. This isn’t to say, however, that the pre-eminent cookie of my youth was not the mighty and comparatively meaty Chips Ahoy! And not those late-issue, M&M-flecked monstrosities, either. I’m talking the real-deal original flavor, in all their dry and crumbly wonder. This is my version of that wonderfully named cookie.
