Mmmmm.... cookies.

It turns out that Alex "isn't a big fan" of chocolate chip cookies. He prefers them with lots of add-ins like nuts, and other bits of things. So, when Alex made a quick trip to Utah a couple weeks ago, I went ahead and had a Chocolate Chip Cookie-Off with some friends.

Each entry, and there were many, was rated on flavor, texture, chip-to-cookie ratio, and appearance. I must admit, I am a big fan of chocolate chip cookies and eating lots of them was a wonderful way to spend an evening!

The spread.


Ellie and Abby contemplating their ratings.


Nico contemplating his.


At some point, Nico turned to me and said, "Mom, I don't want to eat any more cookies." It turns out Miles felt the same way and off they went to play legos and playmobils instead.



All the contenders.



The winner turned out to be Alton Brown's "The Chewy." Mmmm... Good stuff!

Thank you to all the various Merceds and nee Merceds for a wonderful evening!

I'm a purest as well, enjoying the simplicity of the cookie and the chocolate chip. I wish I could have participated. I hope that I could have reached the "I don't want to eat anymore cookies" stage.
