Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
What food has a cozier feel than a chocolate chip cookie still warm from the oven? Whether you have it with a glass of milk, an afternoon tea, or just on its own sweet own, it makes the shoulders rise to the ears as if you get a hug with every bite. Breathy mmmmms and ear-to-ear grins just seem to follow naturally.
