Here, Cathy's Grandma's Chocolate Chip Cookies are incredibly easy and a real family hit!
These delicious cookies are crunchy and loaded with chocolate chips and chopped walnuts. The texture and flavor is out of this world!
The recipe is very easy and these cookies take very little time to bake. They will store in an air tight container and stay crunchy for a few days, and you can keep the crunch by adding a slice of fresh bread in the container. This will help absorb any moisture in the air.
