I have written many times about my interest in baking. I enjoy making my chocolate chip cookies as well as pies, cakes, cobblers and such. Sometimes in our busy lives, fresh baked cookies sound good but the time it takes to mix up the dough is just too time consuming. It has been a long week and you’re tired. You really want a nice warm tasty treat but the act of making a glass of ice water seems to be more work than it’s worth. Thankfully, the folks at Nestle have come to our aid. Nestle toll house chocolate chip cookie dough in the bucket is a great way to quickly have fresh baked chocolate chip cookies.
The directions for these cookies are simple and quick. A heaping spoonful of dough on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 9 to 11 minutes. 
How simple is that? I baked these for 11 minutes and they were perfect. 
So even though the directions say not to eat the raw cookie dough I had to taste it to make sure it was as good as the dough I make. 
The dough is a little dryer than mine, but the taste is very good. The cookies themselves are also very good. The taste and texture are as good as the ones I make from scratch but the time to make them is so much faster. They are just slightly crunchy on the outside and still soft and chewy on the inside. I remember the fun that my daughter and I used to have making cookies together. Now that she is a mother with a one year old son and a daughter on the way I will have new helpers to make cookies with in a couple more years. The memories that both me and my daughter have of those times making cookies together will stay with us forever and the memories I will make with my grandchildren will be as special and will stay with them for the rest of their lives as well.
The family size tub of chocolate chip cookie dough will make about 3 dozen cookies. These cookies are not good for your diet, but the smell of cookies in the oven and the pleasure of sitting down and eating a few brings back all of those wonderful memories, and that makes all the extra calories very much worth eating.
Take the time to make cookies with your children. The memories you make are far more important and longer lasting than the mess that will come from it.

I love the toll house cookies. Haven’t made them in a while, but I used to buy the pre-made ones that are already in a little circle. Just pick one up and bake. It was nice for the waistline too, because I would just make a couple in the toaster oven
May have to try them again soon.
