Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies

My husband bought me the KitchenAid Recipe Collection so the first thing I made was for him - Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies. These have always been his favorite dessert and I have tried so many different recipes over the years. The basic KitchenAid recipe is hands-down the best chocolate chip cookie recipe ever! I kid you not - I made about 5 dozen cookies and they were gone within a day. Everyone loved them!
