Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

When I got married 28 years ago things changed. Life wasn’t only about the recipes I grew up with but now I had a new family that was willing to share their recipes with me. My favorite one came from my mother-in-law. We went over to her house one day as soon as we opened the door I was hit in the face with the amazing smell of a chocolate chip cookie. My mouth watered and I couldn’t wait for her to offer me one.

I was really shocked when she told me that she made them from a box of yellow cake mix. What? You can make cookies from a cake mix? Okay, let me stop you right there. I know you are thinking I must have been living under a rock or something, but that was before the internet existed and there was no such thing as Google or Pinterest.

It’s a good recipe to make with the kids because you don’t even need a mixer to make them. Can you say, “Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe” boys and girls?
