National Chocolate Chip Day is coming up on Sunday, May 15 — but who really needs an excuse (or a specific day or time) to make a delicious batch of chocolate chip cookies?
For Texas mother Jennifer Fleming, oatmeal chocolate chip cookies have been sitting on her kitchen counter regularly, ever since she was a little girl.

“I remember being in the kitchen as a young girl, fascinated by my mom’s impeccable cooking skills,” said Fleming in an interview.
“I developed a love for cooking and baking through my mom. One of my favorite recipes to bake belongs to my mother’s friend, Sandra Killian.”
“My children, as well as my husband Scott, absolutely love the recipe.”

Killian, a Beaumont, Texas resident, created the “Beaumont Texas Chocolate Chip Cookies” decades years ago.
They have since made quite the rounds with friends and family.

The best part of the baked treat? The cookies are fantastic.
Jennifer’s daughter, Izzy, said these cookies have been in her life … maybe forever.
“Growing up, when I saw the Kitchen Aid come out of the cabinet, I knew it was about to be the best day. My siblings and I would hover over my mom, fighting to lick the beater.”

“Growing up, when I saw the Kitchen Aid come out of the cabinet, I knew it was about to be the best day,” she said. “My siblings and I would hover over my mom, fighting to lick the beater.”
During the pandemic, Izzy Fleming joined an email chain with friends across the country to share their favorite recipes.
When picking the one to share, she said the Beaumont Texas Chocolate Chip Cookies were the ones she knew would put a smile on someone’s face.
