Chocolate Chip Cookies are such simple things that bring so much joy.
In church one day we were talking about “Being in the World But Not Of The World.” Meaning, you may exist inside of the world but that does not mean you must live by it’s rules or expectations, but by your own. We were given the analogy that a chocolate chip does not melt and become one with the cookie, but it exists inside of the cookie, and makes it so much better.
My grandmother created her own special recipe for chocolate chip cookies. Currently she is suffering from Dementia and has no idea who I am the majority of the time. But the only chocolate chip recipe I ever use is hers because it is so special to me. Something you have to know about me is that cinnamon is my favorite spice, and I put it in nearly everything to give it a little bit more of a pop. One day I added just 2 tsp of cinnamon to my grandma’s chocolate chip cookies and I will never be able to go back to eating regular cookies.
