Chocolate Chip Cookie Monster

I don't think there is anything better in this wide world than chocolate chip cookies.  I'm sure I've made grand statements like this before, but I mean it this time.  Chocolate Chip Cookies are divine.  They're amazing.  They're perfect. 

I was craving these little dollops of heaven so I found this recipe from Smitten Kitchen, named Crispy Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies, and obviously had to do something about this.  Immediately. 

I mixed the bowl of wet ingredients and another bowl of dry ingredients, then slowly added the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.

Then I added the chocolate chips, putting the extra chips in the freezer.  I may or may not have bought the family-size package for this very reason.  I can neither confirm nor deny.

Then I put the dough in the refridgerator for about thirty minutes while the oven was preheating.  After the dough was done chilling out, I scooped out the dough in 1 inch balls and arranged on a greased baking sheet.  I baked for 10 minutes and the most adorable, perfect, silver-dollar sized cookies came out. 

And one more because they're so lovely.

Lovely. 

I only made twelve, then I pre-formed the rest of the dough and put it in a ziplock bag and froze them. 

Now I can have fresh baked cookies any time I want for as long as this dough will last.  I'm predicting it doesn't last long.
