CHOCOLATE CHIP OFF THE OLD BLOCK COOKIES

“With his brothers away at camp, my 8-year-old son Ben has run of the house with the sitter for an entire week.  What a wonderful sight to see, when I came home to find out that their activity of the day was baking chocolate chip cookies.  The cookies were crispy with plenty of personality and a touch of sass, just like my Ben.  Ah, the apple does not fall far from the cookie tree.  Enjoy!”
