Right-Hand Recipe

Do you have one of those recipes that you can always rely on for any occasion, that always works out, and never fails to be completely delicious?  If you don't, you must find it.  It's a bit like having a baking soulmate.  This recipe for me is my recipe for chocolate chip cookies. I know, I know, chocolate chip cookies... blah blah, but remember, you've never tried one, and one classic rule of the culinary world is to never judge a food before you try it. Unless the words "clam" and puree" are involved, then stay far away from whatever that was.  But honestly, no one has ever had one of my cookies and not loved them, I posted the recipe a while ago, but I've changed it a bit. I use the same ingredients, but I make them MUCH bigger, and under bake them so they are chewy and soft for about one to two whole days!  I make these cookies for whenever and for whatever, I sell them at bake sales, I make them for my family, for school events, and whenever I have spare time. I almost get upset when someone else in my family tries to make them because they're my little babies:)  You could call me possessive.  They're my culinary sidekick, my soulmate, and my right-hand recipe, and I don't think I could have survived without them:) So if this describes nothing you've ever made, then my advice is to pick a lovable and simple recipe and perfect it by making it over and over until you're almost sick of it, once you've committed the recipe to memory and only grab the book off the shelf out of habit, then you have your right-hand recipe, and can successfully move on in your baking career!
