i made chocolate chip cookies the other day and christi made oatmeal cranberry cookies. hers had a more crumbly texture, were uniformly shaped, and was more healthy than mine. when she went to volleyball, she took some of my cookies and said, “i don’t want those ugly ones” pointing to some of the more irregular cookies i had made.

but my cookies aren’t ugly! they are made that way be design. i like my cookies to be a big chunk of cookie. i like that they are irregular, it gives them character. sure, i could have made an effort of make them look more uniform and pretty, but part of why i like making cookies is that they are different from store bought cookies. they just feel like they have personality.

just out of the oven, they were fantastic. crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. i think that i am going to have to make more cookies as this batch is disappearing quickly.
