About
Below is a chocolate chip cookie recipe my family and I have enjoyed for years. The simplicity of this recipe will blow you away; the delicious flavors and soft textures will have you making this at the campground and your home. All you need is a good 10- or 12-inch cast-iron skillet, like this one from Lodge, a few basic ingredients and a bit of time.
