My friends, neighbors, relatives and staff at my doctors’ offices know one important thing about me- I love to make cookies. And I have gotten pretty damn good at it over the years. After pulling a few ideas from past recipes, I have finally created the perfect chocolate chip cookie. They have a nice crunchy outside, a soft inside and make you want to eat them all in one sitting! I had to hide them from my son and husband… and myself. They’re delicious! I hope you enjoy them!

• 1 egg
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 tbls. vanilla extract

1. Cream together butter and brown sugar with hand mixer in a large bowl.
2. Beat in egg and yolk. Add vanilla and apple cider vinegar. Mix well.
