Chocolate Chip Cookies - Easy Recipe

Happy Valentine's Day to all you lovebirds out there! I hope you spend the day with people you care about, either your significant other or your friends and family :) As someone who was never in a relationship on Valentine's Day, I get that it can be annoying to see all your friends being super duper happy in their relationship. But remember, bitterness doesn't help or change the situation. Instead, try to be happy for them, even if they act like 14-year-old teenagers ;) Anyway, if you are still looking for a last minute gift, or if you simply have a craving for chocolate, these cookies might be just what you were looking for!

Not that I know what I want to do with my life, at least not in detail
