In high school, my friends used to tease me about how much my mom baked. The woman averaged two cheesecakes, a batch of brownies and several dozens of cookies each week.
I would get home from cross country practice only to find triple chip cookies lining the counters of our spacious kitchen. I am not sure why, but the sight of all the cookies would send me into a shouting match with my mom.
It was one of the few things we fought about. I think it was the fact that she baked constantly and never was tempted to try any of it. It is true, I have never seen her eat one of those cookies. Now that I am in college and don’t have access to a kitchen in my sorority house, I find myself longing for those afternoons and all of those cookies. Here is her recipe for all of you and your friends to enjoy.
