Cuz Cookies are Choice!

Aloha ahiahi!

I made chocolate chip cookies tonight, because I have been craving cookies for a few days and the cupcakes I made last week were gone in 24 hours. Less, actually. Anyway, that's beside the point.

I used my normal chocolate chip cookie recipe (http://kelseysappleaday.blogspot.com/2008/04/competition-chocolate-chip-cookies.html) and the dough turned out delicious, as always. However, I think my oven isn't running as hot as it used to for whatever reason, because everything is taking longer to cook. Which is frustrating. I wound up having to not only bake the cookies several minutes longer, but I also had to turn up the temperature. And they still came out a little wonky. Nobody knows for sure.

Anyway, I definitely used my cookie making as a lure to get my friend Nick to come hang out with me.  Despite repeatedly protesting that he needed to sleep, the temptation of cookies fresh from the oven was too overpowering. Cuz cookies are choice! (I was going for an alliteration there, but all I could come up with is 'culinary,' and 'cuz cookies are culinary' just seemed... silly.) Cookies: 1, Nick: 0.

Anyway, the cookies are delicious as always and I'm happy to have them to munch on.

If you try this recipe, I recommend you follow the directions about how to separate the dough to put it on the sheet. I know, I know. Following the directions seems fairly common sense, right? Well, it's a pain in the butt and you get cookie dough all over your hands and then there's like 3 people texting you and you want to change the channel but you can't because you're a freaking cookie dough monstrosity and there's nothing you can do about it. But it's worth it, because the cookies turn out much better (at least for me: they don't bake as flat when I place them properly).

Happy baking!
