We’re delighted to share a special recipe with our museum community—a big-batch Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe created by Chef Neil Connolly, the longtime chef for Senator Ted Kennedy and Rose Kennedy in Hyannis Port.

Chef Connolly was known for crafting comforting, memorable dishes for the Kennedy family, and this cookie recipe is one of the classics that reflects his warm, welcoming style in the kitchen.

Whether you’re an experienced baker or just love a good chocolate chip cookie, this Kennedy-inspired recipe is a wonderful way to bring a piece of local history—and delicious flavor—into your home.

Enjoy the recipe, bake a batch, and savor a taste connected to the Kennedy family tradition.
