#397 Eating the first freshly baked cookie from the oven even though it's way too hot

It burns.

Chocolate chips drip down your fingertips as that softly-crumbling cookie melts into a hot puddle of steamy goodness in the middle of your mouth. Gasp for air, pop your eyes, and suck in some cool breaths as you try to chew without touching that red-hot cookie lava.

Part of what makes these cookies delicious is that you can’t buy them at the store. Nope, cellophane stacks of paper-wrapped packs got nothing on the hot crumbly oozing across the burning pan. Remember, you sweated up a storm in the kitchen for these — cracking eggs, melting butter, and beating the wet floury mixture into a sticky brown pulp.

Now is not the time to wait.

Now is the time to enjoy it.

AWESOME!

#397 – Check!

I’ve just decided that I MUST make cookies this weekend and eat a couple right out of the oven. I don’t care what comes in my way. I simply must do this.
Homemade cookies = awesome + cold milk = even better. Thanks for the inspiration! :)
