Hershey’s Lodge Chocolate Chip Cookie

A central Pennsylvania lodge is joining restaurants across the country in generously sharing the most sought after recipes. The Hershey Lodge’s famous chocolate chip cookies recipe joins the ranks as one of the chocolate chip cookie recipes I have tried: Doubletree, Levain copycat, Allison Roman’s chocolate chunk shortbread, amongst many others. One of our weekly roundups covered all things chocolate chip cookie.

These cookies were tasty and a nice alternative when you want something a little different from your go-to chocolate chip cookie. I made my cookies a little smaller and we don’t like them really dark (you will note that my photo is greatly different than the one at the link below).
