Sue’s Chocolate Chip Cookies are incredibly good warm from the oven, but they stay good for several days if kept in an airtight container. Unfortunately, they don’t last long unless they are hidden. The freezer is a good hiding place, and they keep for months when frozen. To thaw, just set on the counter for a few minutes or microwave for a few seconds.
While these cookies are very different from the original Toll House Cookies invented by Ruth Wakefield in 1937 (which started a chocolate chip cookie craze that has never waned), they are a favorite and definitely worth a try.
