Memaw’s Chocolate Chip Cookies
My Mother-in-law makes the best cookies. She used to ship them to Afghanistan when my husband was there so he felt like he had a piece of home with him. Now, I have the recipe! Yey :). It reminds me a lot of my grandma’s recipe, and you know, I can’t quite make them like she does, but my {step}daughter and I have sure tried :).
