Who Can Resist a Chocolate Chip Cookie?

Wisdom of the Wounded

Who can resist freshly baked homemade chocolate chip cookies (or any kind of cookie, for that matter?) How do you like to eat your chocolate chip cookies . . . Warm? With a glass of cold milk? With a cup of coffee?

But guess what? You could enjoy those cookies even more if you share some of them with another person. Maybe a friend who is going through a rough time.

Consider also giving the person frozen cookies; for, as one mother said, “If you bring cookies frozen then I can have the delight of sending fresh goodies in my children’s lunch boxes or surprise them with a special after school snack.”

Invite your children to help in the cookie making project. Maybe they would like to decorate a box or a bag in which the cookies can be given to the friend. Also suggest that they design a “Get Well” card or “Thinking of You” card to accompany the gift of cookies.

If the cookies are for a child, you might like to include the book, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie.

Here is my favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe:

Ingredients:
1 C. Oil
1 C. Butter
1 C. White Sugar
1 C. Brown Sugar
1 tsp. Salt
1 Egg
1 Tbsp. Milk
1 tsp. Vanilla
4 C. Flour
1 tsp. Cream of Tartar
1 tsp. Baking Soda
1-1 ½ C. Chocolate Chips
½ C. chopped nuts (optional)

Beat the first 8 ingredients for two minutes. Add flour, cream of tartar and soda. Beat for two minutes. Add chocolate chips and nuts (optional). Bake at 350 degrees for 9-10 minutes on an ungreased baking sheet.
