Confession: I’m a cookie monster. Always have and probably always will be. I’ve baked my fair share of cookies but this recipe from Joy Food Sunshine is by far my favorite! Since we find ourselves at home these days, I wanted to share this cookie monster approved recipe that your little ones are sure to love. May it fill your home with joy and your tummy with happiness.

• 1 tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp sea salt

• Mix in the dry ingredients until combined.
• Add 12 oz package of chocolate chips and mix well.
• Roll 2-3 TBS (depending on how large you like your cookies) of dough at a time into balls and place them evenly spaced on your prepared cookie sheets. (alternately, use a small cookie scoop to make your cookies).
