Who else views baking as the perfect way to recharge and spend some time to yourself? I have loved baking since I was a teenager, and that hasn't changed after all of these years. The only difference is that it's a little harder to find the time to bake in peace and quiet. Though, it is a lot sweeter baking these days when I get to share the treats with the cutest and most appreciate little people + husband.
So last week, after an evening pre-natal massage, I wanted to keep the relaxation going and had my heart set on figuring out a recipe for chocolate chip cookies that closely resembled those from Chick-fil-A. If you've never had one of their cookies, you need to do so ASAP. Or now you can make these cookies, because they are pretty darn close! My pregnancy cravings are SO happy with this chocolate chip cookie goodness, and they're too scrumptious not to share!
