Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies
I have a brother, Tay, as you may recall. I speak of him often. In fact, I spoke of him just last week when I was telling out about that mug pie.
Tay and I have a healthy relationship of mutual servitude. He takes out the trash, and I bring him glasses of water. He fetches recipes I’ve scattered throughout the house, and I put his dishes away. He carries messages to people when I’m too lazy to move, and I make him snacks. It’s a good system.
It’s especially good for Tay, because I always know what he needs even when he doesn’t know it himself, especially where his snacks are concerned.
“Hey Yammie, I need cookies.”
“Oatmeal with chocolate chips, I presume.”
“Why, yes! Now that you mention it. You know me better than I know myself!”
“Why, yes! Now that you mention it. You know me better than I know myself!”
“Hey Yammie, I think I want something–“
“Peanutbuttery?” I interrupt, “Don’t worry, the peanut butter Rice Krispie treats are on the way.”
“Okay Yammie, I need a snack, and this time, it’s something you won’t expect.”
“Grilled cheese?”
(aghast) “Yes.”
True story.
Well, since I have such a psychic link with him, I decided I would use it to my advantage and make his snack ahead of time. However, there was a flaw in my plan. Apparently cookies made at 10:00 in the morning do not last until Tay’s snack-time later on. Especially when they’re super chewy, itty-bitty, little baby cookies. I don’t know why I ever expected them to last more than five minutes.
Try using these mini cookies for chocolate chip cookie sundaes, cheesecake toppers, trail mix mix-ins, or just plain. Have fun.
