Ok, so I am a day late in posting this since National Chocolate Chip day was actually Thursday. Oh well, it's been a busy week and it seems the pollen has been aggravating me more than usual lately. Somehow, I finally have a bit of energy back and I wanted to make sure everyone knew about National Chocolate Chip day!

Ok, if you don't know already, I am a bit of a ... um... chocoholic. There I said it. They say the first step iis admitting you have a problem, right? Although loving chocolate is not really a problem far as I see it. So, of course, when I heard about this national holiday I couldn't let it pass by without making something in honor of it. What kind of chocoholic would I be if I didn't pay tribute?

In honor of this great holiday (don't you love made up food holidays?), I revisited the Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies and used a combination of white chocolate chips and semi-sweet chips. Of course, my family adores these cookies otherwise I wouldn't keep making them. They are the easiest cookies ever, so I don't even think twice when it's time to add to my cookie stash.

All you really need is a cold glass of milk and you've got the perfect chewy chocolate chip cookie. They stay fresh in an airtight container for up to 1 week (if they last that long), and the freeze really well.
