Why These Cookies Are the Best
These cookies are some of the best I’ve ever eaten. They’re large, and chewy, and loaded with chocolate (because we measured with our heart, remember?).
My favorite thing on earth is to eat one when it’s freshly out of the oven; when it’s almost too hot to handle. It’s so, so, so good – you should definitely try it.
