Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ok, let?s face it, I am absolutely madly in love with chocolate chip cookies. And I am not kidding when I tell you that once I made these I could not stop eating them. They were gone before I could even photograph them. So I made another batch. These are the ultimate chocolate chip cookies and one of the easiest Thermomix recipes you could ever make.

They didn?t even make it on my photo so I doubt they will make it inside your cookie jar before some Cookie Monster in the house could demolish them.

Bake in the oven for 15-18 minutes until golden brown. They will still ne soft but once you remove them...
