Chocolate Chip Cookies

This is a really quick and easy recipe for making chocolate chip cookies. My daughter loves to bake and these cookies are her speciality. The only draw back to making these cookies is that one batch is never enough as they are so darn tasty! B&B hosts are renowned for their home-baking and one of the delights of staying in bed and breakfast accommodation is the delicious home-baking hosts provide to their guests as part of the B&B experience.
