How I Celebrated

I had another ice cream sandwich with those leftover chocolate chip cookies, but I didn't film it because talk about repeats, boring right? So I tried out those simply made keebler ones. They pretty much taste like those shortbread cookies with chocolate chips in them. Hardly what a simply home made chocolate chip cookie would taste like, and a far cry from chips ahoy. Don't know if that is what they were going for, but calling it a chocolate chip cookie is a bit misleading.

History

Famous for a reason. It is crazy how something so simple like chocolate chip cookies still have so many variations. I don't know which one I like best.
