I’m a big fan of taking time to reset in the afternoons, which usually takes the form of coffee and some kind of sweet snack. As I got my home ready for my family’s arrival and Thanksgiving celebrations, I indulged in some of my favorite chewy chocolate chocolate chip cookies!
These no-chill cookies are amazing because they are HUGE and so soft on the inside but they never fall apart. Does it get any better than that? Plus they are ready so quickly so for those of us who are terrible planners, these are a great last minute go-to!

These are sweet and super chocolate-y so if you want to add more texture and salty, reduce the amount of chocolate chips and add in nuts or pretzels. You can also top these chocolate cookies with flakey sea salt right when they come out of the oven.

If you are also looking to reset before the holidays get crazy, here are few bookish links to read! And if you want to indulge in some of these tasty cookies, the recipe is at the bottom of this post!
