DOUBLETREE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES! SHARE THE LOVE!

It's summertime. It's Saturday! Time to share some sweetness with the ones you love! I did just that by baking up a batch of these divine chocolate chip cookies! Last night we met family for dinner and enjoyed seeing the Dallas skyline at night!

I surprised each of the boys(and Jenn) by presenting them with a bag of these homemade cookies. I love trying out new recipes, and had never prepared this version of the chocolate chipper!

Yes....it's a good recipe! What makes a tad difference, I think, is that tiny touch of lemon juice! Who knew? If you have ever stayed at a Doubletree, the aroma of cookies baking will make you feel right at home! Enjoy the weekend y'all!
