The origins of these chocolate chip cookies is actually based on an urban legend that circulated widely via email in the mid-1990s. I loved the recipe so much and adapted it to make an egg-free, nut-free chocolate chip cookie recipe for us to enjoy.
This cookie dough is a great make ahead recipe if you wrap and store in your refrigerator. You can also roll out the dough into balls and freeze on a cookie sheet, when the dough balls are frozen you can transfer them to a freezer bag. When you are ready to bake the frozen cookie dough, you do not need to defrost the dough, just arrange them on a cookie sheet while you are pre-heating your oven.
