Chocolate Chip Cookies

This is an easy preparation of Chocolate chip cookies. It is crispy and chewy. Traditionally, chocolate chip cookies are made by adding equal amount of brown sugar and white sugar. But i have taken only white sugar for this recipe.

Try it out and kids would love it. You can actually store them for weeks and it will remain crispy and chewy. But i can't guarantee you whether there would be enough to store or not...because it would be finished within seconds.... :)
