Can somebody please explain.
What is it about chocolate chip cookies that are just simply irresistible?
I have absolutely ZERO self control when it comes to these. I can’t even walk into my kitchen without having juuuuuust one. Or two. Ok, ten.
I’m actually a frozen cookie kind of girl. I know, it’s kinda weird. Most normal human being chocolate chip cookie eaters would just about die for a warm cookie hot out the oven. Not me. No way.
Bake and freeze. All day.
Who’s with me on this one?
Seven years ago my crazy awesome sister-in-laws threw me the most perfect wedding shower. As one of my gifts they had all the guests chip in and submit a dessert recipe. With those submissions, they put together one of the most meaningful gifts I’ve ever received.
A beautiful scrapbook of recipes from friends and family. Literally, greatest gift ever.
Each page was more creative than the next, full of cute scrapbook papers, stickers, and sayings. Each recipe had a story behind it, which is the best part of food anyway!
And these chocolate chip cookies came from this secret book.
Oy, and that cookie dough. I’m not even a cookie dough eating kind of person. But I sure was this time!
100% gave myself a huge stomach ache after eating what felt like half the dough before any even went in the oven. #cookiedoughproblems.
I swore I would only taste a couple and give the rest away.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah.
I apologize to everyone who I thought would get to taste these but didn’t because I ate 48 cookies by myself.
Oops.
