Is it waiting for a taste of the cookie dough? When you open the oven is it the intoxicating smell of caramelized butter, sugar, and vanilla? Or the warm feel of holding it in your hand, waiting to take a bite? What about chocolate chip cookies that make them so good that one is never enough, and we reach for another batch?
Many say that our deep attachment to chocolate chip cookies has to do more with our emotional attachment to them. When I think of cookies, I always think of my mom and home, A warm and comfy environment. And then I think of making batch after batch of chocolate chip cookies for my kids and their friends. During their summer breaks we must have made CCCs twice a week. What makes these cookies so great is how it makes us nostalgic for childhood memories and even ones from our adult memories.

Can it get any better?
Add a glass of milk!
I don't quite know why but, as much as I love chocolate, I could never get to like chocolate chip cookies. Perhaps it's the cookie dough I don't like? Anyway, all the more for everyone else to enjoy 😄
ReplyDeleteYou like chocolate with no extras!
DeleteMy mother made them, probably the best thing she baked.
ReplyDeleteThey were her specialty!
DeleteIt's the perfect home-made treat. I make them with Andes Candies instead of chips. It's a bit tedious to unwrap and chop up those little candies but it's worth it in the end.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds delicious. The chopped chocolate would be a little more melty than the chips. Yum!
