Box O Chocolates - Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

Remember when you were a kid and your mom made chocolate chip cookies? What a thrill it was to get to help! My big thing was getting to pour the chocolate chips in the dough. And then, of course, "helping" by licking the beaters, then later, the bowl. I'd even sneak some dough straight from the bowl (but then, what red-blooded American child wouldn't??). Although I was unaware of it at the time, I have to wonder if the excitement of making the cookies was in the cookies themselves or the dough!
