Spoonful of Something

December 2, 2019 By Ambreen Wajid

Elevated Chocolate Chip Cookies

         Alright guys. I’ve clearly been in a cookie obsession lately. I don’t know if it’s because it’s the season for cookies & baking or if it’s just my need for procrastibaking, but either way- it’s strong. I’ve been making batches of chocolate chip cookies and double chocolate cookies and basically anything & everything in cookie format. I’ve been making extra batches and storing the stashes in my freezer for cookie-related-emergencies. Well last night was no different. I started craving some ooey gooey deliciousness. The problem was that I wanted the classic delicious taste of chocolate chip cookies- but I also wanted something new, something better. 

         As I was trying to brainstorm some favorite ingredients to throw into a recipe, my friend must have gotten some serious mind reading skills. He showed up with a fresh cookie from chick-fil-a! Now I don’t think I’ve ever truly enjoyed a cookie from any type of restaurant/store, but the craving was strong & the intention was on point. Have any of you guys had a CFA cookie before? Because DAMN. That is one seriously amazing cookie. It was everything I love about chocolate chip cookies, but there was some oats and a sense of (honestly this is the only way I can explain it) a well rounded cookie. No joke.  As soon as I finished my first bite, I already knew I had to try to and model my next batch after that cookie. 

         They turned out fantastic. Like fantastic enough that I’m bringing these home for Thanksgiving break & also keeping a special stash of them in my own freezer. Fantastic enough that I’m officially replacing my classic chocolate chip cookie obsession with these perfect drops of paradise. But of course, no need to take my word for it- whip up a batch and see how everyone gets completely HOOKED. Just don’t say I didn’t warn ya.

Elevated Chocolate Chip Cookies
