cookie monster

chocolate chip cookies are one of my most favorite things to eat.

they're right up there with cheeseburgers, tacos, baked potatoes, and maw-maw's red velvet cake.

i'm a little weird about it, though... 

i don't like every cookie out there, just the chocolate chip ones (well, and these guys). i prefer they come fresh from the oven, warm, and a bit under-cooked. 

they don't necessarily have to be made from scratch - i love the "break-n-bake" kind just as well - but they do have to be warm (i've even been known to put a few chips ahoy cookies in the microwave).

also, i normally won't eat a cookie unless i have a glass of milk to drink, too.

proudly, i've passed this cookie-loving gene on to my children. while they may not look a whole lot like me, they do love their cookies, and i'm totally claiming that. you're welcome, sweet babies. they're aren't as picky as me - they'll eat a cookie, any kind, milk or no milk. 

give 'em time, i say. :)

here's the littlest cookie monster, polishing off the last of last week's batch (warning: you're probably going to want a cookie and some milk after seeing these)...
