Make the chocolate chip cookies Donna Kelce took to Super Bowl week

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce both rave about the chocolate chip cookies their mom makes.

The cookies are so good, Donna Kelce baked up a batch and hand delivered them to her sons on stage at Opening Night of the Super Bowl earlier this month.

Now Chiefs fans can also enjoy them. Maybe bake some to enjoy while watching Travis Kelce host Saturday Night Live March 4.

Here’s Mama Kelce’s homemade chocolate chip recipe, straight from her kitchen.
