Simple Chocolate Chip Cookies

If I could pick any dessert I had to live with for the rest of my life, I would choose cookies over any other option. More specifically, chocolate chip cookies. Not that there is anything wrong with cakes, brownies, pies, ice cream, candies or any of the other multitude of sweets, I just would pick a warm, gooey chocolate chip cookie over anything else.

There are a million plus one recipes to make chocolate chip cookies. You can have crunchy cookies, chewy cookies, or anything in between. I am not here going to tell you how to make the perfect chocolate chip cookie, I am only going to tell you how I like to make my chocolate chip cookies.

I will give some advice, not so much on how to make the cookies, but more on what ingredients to use. To steal Papa John's slogan, "better ingredients, better cookies."

Chocolate Chip Banana Walnut Bread

We all know the story here. You buy some bananas at the store. You eat some. You forget about the rest of the bunch.

Fast forward several days.

Bam. You are looking at a bunch of bananas that look bruised, battered and too far gone to eat. Before you get sad and frustrated at tossing what was once perfectly good food, you have another option...make banana bread.

Well I made the obvious choice. In fact, this was my first time making banana bread and I only learned one very important thing - I should have been making banana bread way long ago.
