Growing up, one of my FAVORITE cookies were the chocolate chip Chips Ahoy cookies. I used to love when my mom bought them. It wasn’t all that often. For some reason, I remember her buying a lot of Fig Newtons. While they were good, they just don’t compare to the deliciousness that is Chips Ahoy cookies! They always seemed to be at every sleepover I went to and, of course, we would eat them until we either ate them all or felt sick!

The nostalgia I felt when I saw these Chips Ahoy Cookie Cupcakes was crazy! Part of me wished I could eat gluten again just so I could taste them, but I would rather not be doubled over with stomach pangs (stupid gluten allergy)…so instead I will just have to imagine how good they are as my family devours them!
