cookie time

Today is "National Chocolate Chip Day" which seems to me to be a very fine day to celebrate.  We were reminded at exercise class today that dark chocolate is actually good for you, in moderation, so maybe it should be National Dark Chocolate Chip Day.  But, no matter your preference, dark or milk, I think you will agree that they are delicious stirred into cookie batter, and baked of course.  You shouldn't eat raw cookie dough, although I personally think licking the spoon must be allowed.  

Many years ago, when I was selling real estate, I went on an afternoon appointment to list a home for sale.  When I got to the house, the homeowner invited me in and asked if I would like refreshments.  I generally refused food when on an appointment, keeping things professional you know, (and less chance to spill anything) but I had noticed a delicious scent when I entered the house (this seller had been through this before). When she said "I have milk and chocolate chip cookies." I accepted graciously.  I mean, I don't care how old you get, or how far removed from your school days, who can refuse milk and cookies at 3:00 in the afternoon?
