The Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

I love the holidays.  The holidays bring family closer together where we can spend time with each other.  It seems as if most families are way to busy to take the time out to spend time with each other unless there is a reason, ie holidays, birthdays, or family events that gets us together a few times a year.  When I married my husband, I married into a large family who enjoys spending time together.  With a larger family, I haven’t had to slave in the kitchen fixing large meals at Thanksgiving or Christmas.  I never knew what to bring, since everyone had the main dishes already covered and prepared their traditional holiday favorites.  So I began  making cookies each year, and I wasn’t planning to bake any this year since there were several family members on diets.  However, I was personally asked if I was going to bring cookies this year, so I spent today preparing the cookie dough.  I love for mine to sit in the refrigerator overnight and chill before I bake them.
