Chocolate Chip Cookies

You know that elusive, best-ever, chocolate chip cookie recipe?  Yeah I don't know where that is because everyone has a different idea of what the best cookie is.  And that's okay!  Variety is the spice of life.  If you don't love what I love, that's fine! I'll judge and think you're crazy, but we will both survive.  You'll go on loving gross cookies, and I'll go on loving the good stuff.  And we will both, somehow, be happy with that.  If you ever want to try the good stuff, it'll be right here for you.  And so will I.  Maybe.  I'm not as forgiving as these best-ever chocolate chip cookies....

TRADITION! (Fiddler on the Roof anyone?). But she's right that it is that good.        You should give it a shot.  If you don't replace generations-old traditions with it, that's okay, but you should consider making it a tradition to have this coffee cake at some point every
