I was pretty skeptical that these here 5 ingredients could possibly produce a proper cookie.

Then I mixed up the batter and was pretty skeptical that these here 5 ingredients could possibly produce a proper cookie. The batter looked like a sticky icing.

Well behold the magic chemistry of baking… chewy, nutty flavored chocolate chippers came out of the oven. The very best time to eat them, I thought, was about 5 minutes after they were baked. Warm and intensely flavored, they were absolutely delicious. They are okay cool, but not quite as good.

A short song.

Yes, we are. :)

And a sweet song.

“She remembers the days they were running in the rain
Everything was beauty, and nothing was pain
That’s the way that life is
Well, it gets you every time
Put one hand on the wheel
And another in mine”
