 What is it most dorsum to schoolhouse fourth dimension that makes me desire to stock the cookie jar?  Mike together with Emma exclusively similar regular chocolate fleck cookies.  Ugh.  I ask a picayune variety!  Snickerdoodles, Peanut Butter, Sugar...  

They could swallow chocolate fleck cookies, boxes of brownies together with manifestly chocolate cake their entire life together with live fulfilled.  It makes it difficult for me to desire to come upward up amongst new recipes when they ever enquire for the classics.  However, when Emma was at schoolhouse this week, I took it upon myself to experiment.  I started amongst their favorite chocolate chip recipe (tollhouse, but I role a picayune extra brown saccharide together with a picayune less white to brand chewier) together with added lots of yummy things - PB Chips, Chocolate Chips, Pretzels together with Flaked Sea Salt.
