Author Notes
I first started making chocolate chip cookies using one of Alton Brown's recipes, but over time I made changes to fit my cookie style. My version is less greasy and has a richer flavor from the brown sugar. They are chewy and stay soft for days if kept in a zip top bag.
When deciding which recipe I would want to be known for it didn't take me long to pick this one. Its simple and classic. Comforting and loving. All qualities I would want to be remembered as having. —ShootsAndRoots
