It's National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day!

At my house, we don't need an excuse for having chocolate chip cookies, but how nice to have a special day to celebrate them!

ABC News offers some of their own recipes, and tells the story of the origin of the iconic cookie, which was created when a baker at the Toll House Inn in Massachusetts added some chocolate pieces to her butter cookie recipe.

Do you use the traditional back-of-the-bag recipe, or do you have a different one? Something passed down from Grandma? A lower-calorie or lower-fat version? An extra ingredient that makes them amazing?
