I did it again, I missed another national day of celebration. I accidentally blew off National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day because I was totally focused on going to see Metallica at MetLife Stadium this past Friday, if you know me, you completely understand.
I’m going to make up for it by finding a bunch of great places on the Jersey Shore for you to check out.
The quest for the best chocolate chip cookie is a journey that many of us embark upon.
It’s a challenge that requires just a few things; a love for this sweet treat, and a willingness to venture into unknown bakeries, cafes and specialty cookie stores.
National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day is a delightful celebration that highlights America’s deep-rooted love for these delectable, sweet treats.
These chewy, melt-in-your-mouth cookies have become a symbol of comfort and indulgence, easily winning the hearts of Americans from all walks of life.
From classic homemade recipes passed down through generations to the countless variations found in local bakeries, cafes, and specialty cookie stores and kiosks,
Whether enjoyed warm and gooey right out of the oven or paired with a glass of ice cold milk, these cookies satisfy the sweet tooth cravings of Americans of all ages.
They have also found their way into a vast array of desserts such as ice cream sandwiches, cookie pies, and even as toppings for milkshakes.
You’ll find those insane milkshakes at places like Taylor Sam’s and The Brownstone Pancake Factory, both located in Brick, New Jersey.
These sought after sweet delights evoke memories of my childhood. I clearly remember when the aroma of freshly baked cookies filled the kitchen and the joy of biting into a warm chocolate-filled mouthful made everything seem right with the world.
As adults, they fill us with a sense of comfort when things go sideways, or we suffered one of life’s little set backs.
Because I totally missed this special day, l wanted to take a moment to appreciate the magic that chocolate chip cookies bring to our lives.
