Cook-ie, Cook-ie!


Did you know that chocolate chip cookies weren't invented until circa 1935? Can you imagine living in this world without them? Sometimes when I feel miserable (such as when writing the novel seems slow and horrible, like coaxing a tapeworm out of my leg), I think about how lucky I am to live in the era of c.c.c. (the Triple C!).

Chocolate chip cookies = pure heavenly bliss.

It's the salt and the brown sugar that make them so damn good. I know because in the midst of extreme cravings, I have often made them without certain ingredients. All white sugar chocolate chip cookies just aren't the same.

I feel like there's some kind of cheesy lesson about the benefits of diversity in that. I'll let you parse it for yourself.
