These are super easy to make and unbelievably tasty.
Using just butter, sugar and flour in the base cookie dough will make it easy for you to add in your favourite chocolate chips or chunks.
They also freeze really well so you can pull one or two from the freezer at a time for a warm cookie as an afternoon treat.
