Back to Basics: Chocolate Chip Cookies!

Here is my favorite recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookies, as posted on Top Secret Recipes (a cool website to check out for some of your restaurant and brand name faves). I use bittersweet chocolate chips (I like Ghirardelli 60% Cacao) and they turn out deliciously! The secret ingredient is instant coffee crystals (I use decaf), and it adds a dimension of flavor that really sets off the chocolate.

And don't forget to use the base of this recipe for other cookies, like macadamia nut and milk or white chocolate, or any other combination of chocolates/nuts!
