cookies.

i think i've finally found "my thing". you know the thing that people always want from you. food-wise that is.

the thing they say "oh good. she's coming. she'll bring her dip. or her dessert or her martini." you know. that thing that separates you from the rest. that people look forward to. i've always wanted one. i've tried. i've had some hits and misses over the years. some that people might think are my thing. but i think it's this.

so. you ask. what is my thing? well. it's cookies. chocolate chip cookies. to be exact.

not to brag. which i don't like doing.

but i get rave reviews for them. requests for them. raves.

"what's in these? can i get the recipe? how do you make these? what do you do that makes them so special?"

i almost feel like carla, on top chef. you know. the one. that puts lots of love in her dishes. that's why she's gotten where she is. i love it. but top chef is for another post. maybe tomorrow. especially after last night. alas. this is about cookies...

i make them for my friends. take them to events. give them for gifts. i get requests for them. "i'm not feeling well, i'm sad, those would make me feel better. please? oh please??"

yesterday. i was even offered $250 for the recipe (for real!). the amount wasn't high enough. so i couldn't accept. it was a good offer though.

so. i thought. i'll share a bit of the yumminess with you...

hot out of the oven. can you smell them? and if you really want some. just ask. i'll make you some of your own. for real.
