Yes, I know that my last post was about food, but this one will be, too. Two of my grandsons are spending quite a bit of time with me lately while their mother is out of town on business. Everyone knows that grandsons need snacks after school, so I’ve been baking. It’s for them, of course; that’s my story, and I’m sticking to it! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

I recently ran across a recipe that claimed to be for the best chocolate chip cookies ever, due to a not-so-secret ingredient, so I gave that a try. I whipped up the cookie dough yesterday and baked the cookies today. I have to admit that they’re pretty tasty and passed the grandson-test with flying colors. Interested? The recipe is here<\/a>.
