One of my favorite recipes is for a simple chocolate chip cookie. I began my quest for the perfect recipe and I found it. When I lived in San Diego I made a trip to the Del Mar Fair and purchased the prize winning recipes cookbook for that year. I only made one recipe, blue ribbon chocolate chip cookies. This was the single most amazing cookie I have ever tasted. The recipe is simple. There is a reason it won first place.
The recipe:

Now for the missing part of the story. I LOST the cookbook. I have looked everywhere for it. Tore the house a part. A brief moment of panic hit me because I thought that I had lost the recipe for these cookies as well. Okay take a deep breath, let it out, look some more, still no cookbook. Okay, Becky don't panic. Think, think, think. Oh Yeah, I posted the recipe on facebook! Yay cookies saved. Relax, Bake cookies and relax again! I am still very sad that the cookbook is MIA. However the recipe is saved in cyber land forever!
This is the cookie's best friend is a nice glass of ice cold milk!
