Best Chocolate Chip Cookies

The secret to this recipe is a mix of chocolate chopped so it distributes through the cookie. It is an excellent opportunity to use up some left over Easter chocolate. By melting the butter there is no need to wait for the butter to get to room temperature before mixing. A big thank you to Tara O'Brady for The Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe adapted from Seven Spoons.
