Like a lot of people, I tend to get overwhelmed by the holidays. I really enjoy them, but sometimes my brain is buzzing with all of the things I have to do. So much so that I sometimes can’t get my mind straight to figure out what to bake. 

     But when I get overwhelmed, and I just don’t feel like experimenting with something completely foreign to me, I generally fall back on creating a new chocolate chip cookie recipe. I am most familiar with making cookies, and chocolate chip cookies will generally please most people. So it’s a win-win for my scattered mind. 

     Today, I wanted to experiment using honey in a chocolate chip cookie recipe. I thought it would make them too sweet, so I only added a couple of tablespoons. 

     I used enough flour so this dough was not too wet, and I put in a generous amount of semi-sweet chocolate chips. So I knew these were going to be thick cookies.

     I was right… this came out to be big, fat, thick cookies with a nice soft interior and lots of yummy chocolate chips! This was definitely a substantial and delicious chocolate chip cookie. The honey did not overpower it, so it was not overly sweet. 

     If you are looking for a chocolate chip cookie that isn’t as flat as the traditional chocolate chip cookie, look no further!
