I’ve been making chocolate chip cookies since I was a little kid (I don’t even want to think about how much raw cookie dough I’ve consumed!) And I’ve tried countless recipes along the way. What I love about this one is that it allows me to be lazy. Instead of forming perfect balls and hoping I get perfect-looking cookies, you just throw the dough into tiny ramekins and call it a day. The bonus is it actually looks like a special dessert when you top it with some ice cream, a treat worthy of a special occasion. And what’s fun about this recipe is that I got to share it with the viewers of “Home & Family” on The Hallmark Channel. I’ve included that appears here as well!
