Chocolate Chip Butter Cookies
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Bake: 15 min./batch + cooling

At the downtown Chicago law firm where I work, we often bring in goodies for special occasions. When co-workers hear I've baked these melt-in-your-mouth cookies, they make a special trip to my floor to sample them. Best of all, these crisp, buttery treats can be made in no time. —Janis Gruca, Mokena, Illinois
