I mean a crispy chocolate chip cookie is still a chocolate chip cookie, but there’s just something about the ones that instantly melt in your mouth.

It’s upstairs and kind of tucked away and I always preferred sitting on my couch, looking out my front window while typing away on my laptop. That was until Covid hit and the kids all started distance learning!!! The downstairs area quickly became a workstation for the entire household, including Paul because he was now home, too.
