Chocolate Chip Cookies

 I'm no baker but I feel like an expert baker everytime I baked these Chocolate Chip cookies. All I needed to do was pre-heat my oven, placed the pre-portion(ed) cookie dough in the cookie baking tray, and placed it in the oven. I think the hardest part of this procedure is the waiting time for the cookies to cool off so that you can start munching on them. ^_^
