Chocolate chip cookies are a classic recipe that comes to mind when I think of back to school. They can be made gluten-free and are super simple cookies to make. Most often, I make these with semi-sweet chocolate chips, but they can be made with any chip of your choice. They are particularly famous in my household: one will often be paired with ice cream or a cold glass of milk to satiate a late night craving.Â
