Chunky Chocolate Chip Cookies {recipe}

Hello! It’s summer! I’ve shared before how much I love summer & how much I love spending time with my amazing kiddos! One of our “simple joys of summer” is spending time in the kitchen baking up a new recipe, so today I am excited to share this easy & yummy Chunky Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe with you. Annnnd you know if you eat a cookie, you are are going to want a glass of ice cold milk to go with it! ha! If kiddos don’t drink milk regularly, it can make it super hard for them to get the nutrients they need to grow. Today I’d also love to tell you about The Great American Milk Drive.  You’ll find out how you can help deliver nutrient-rich milk to those in need & help ensure that all children have the potential to play, learn & grow. So let’s get started! :)
