Chocolate Chip Vanilla Cookies - These simple and unassuming chocolate chip cookies are so much more than they first appear. They're soft and chewy, but also have an intense vanilla flavor that helps to bring out the taste of the semi-chocolate chips in them as well. In addition, they somehow manage to get even better after sitting for a few days after they are baked, which makes them the perfect Christmas cookie to add to a holiday cookie tray.

Last month had so many great recipes, including five cookie recipes. That’s right, five cookie recipes. There’s certainly nothing wrong with that, right? There were Chocolate Espresso Brown Sugar Cookies, White Christmas Peppermint Holiday Cookies, No-Bake Peanut Butter Cup Cereal Cookies, Whoville Christmas Wreath Sugar Cookies, and my favorite, these Chocolate Chip Vanilla Cookies.

So, if you’re ready to break your New Year’s diet resolution or you’re just looking for a cookie to make on a cold winter’s day, these are definitely the cookies you should take the time to bake. They’re pretty much the perfect cookie and they get better and better as they sit. Of course, that’s only if you don’t gobble them all up as soon as they come out of the oven.
