Another rainy day, and another sleepless night. We had a thunderstorm and an extremely fussy baby last night. How I have made it this far in the day, I honestly don’t know! But I know I needed some kind of boost, and I’m not one for coffee. Cookies are the answer for today! We used chocolate chips and chopped up half a white chocolate bar for a little extra something. Baking them for a short 8 minutes leaves the middle chewy but the combo of butter and margarine gives a crisp edge. Best of both world? Yes. Will you want to eat three at a time? Also yes.
