Ultimate chocolate chip cookies

 Let me preface this by saying I have been searching.......

searching......... searching for the ultimate choc chip cookie.

I have read many recipes and
baked many variations
and I have come to understand that 
your ultimate choc chip cookie might not necessarily
be my ultimate choc chip cookie!

and
 yes,
 vice versa

but I highly recommend you try these 

Chewy, with the lightest crisp coating on a soft centre....

and the brown sugar gives them a hint of caramel

After my 11 year old son ate one

 he looked at me with eyebrows raised and said

"mum you are unbelievable!"

The other amazing thing about these cookies is that the recipe came

not
 from my favourite San Francisco baker

not
from the english domestic goddess

and not from the little artisan baker around the corner in Brooklyn

but

from

The back of the
"Gold Medal All Purpose Flour"

I bought 2 days ago
