A Bunco Dessert Turned Family Favorite Cookies

Georgia Thomas

These chocolate chip cookies quickly became a family favorite cookie recipe after one of our neighbors brought the cookies to a women's Bunco game night. She was kind enough to share the recipe, and these cookies have quickly become a staple in our home. Friday night was the night we made a fun dessert growing up, and these were baked more often than any other treat. Easy to make, and a simple recipe leads to delicious cookies!

To change them up, I often add mini-peanut butter cups (Trader Joe's sells my favorite), white chocolate chips, or anything else with some chocolatey goodness to replace the regular chocolate chips in this family favorite cookie recipe. I also don't always add oats. Sometimes, It is a plain chocolate chip cookie kind of night! Some chopped up pecans or other nuts are another delicious variation to these cookies. I have been baking these cookies for years, and I am still finding new and exciting ways to adapt the recipe!
