Tough Cookies

Man. It takes some time to get over the holidays. I’m sitting here wanting a cookie sooooo bad.

You know, anywhere between Thanksgiving and New Years, a cookie is totally appropriate. If not obligatory. I mean, it’s the holidays. Have a cookie. Have two. If there’s an assortment, you should probably try to have one of each. Just so you have a basis for comparison. Ginger snap, chocolate cherry chunk or straight up sugar cookie? You need to be able to offer an informed opinion.

But, then January 2. The cookie train comes to an end. Not only are they not as available (blast!), it’s just not appropriate to punctuate every meal with a cookie (oatmeal cookies are breakfast food, right?). So, there’s a grieving process. You just look at your empty hand and think, “Damn, I wish there was a cookie there.”

Well. You just have to be strong. And wait for Valentine’s day.

I'm just spoiled. My Mom made 8 different cookies this year. So goood! I ran through my stash. The only thing left in the freezer is a small bag of left over cheesey olive biscuits. Good. But not cookie good.

ALWAYS have the ingredients for choc chip cookies onhand just like you keep rubbing alcohol and bandaids- you never know when the emergency will strike.

There's a cookie bakery less than a mile from my place that is open late, and will deliver cookies fresh out of the oven in an insulated box to keep them warm. With milk. So awesome.
