Phoebe’s Grandma’s Super Secret Cookie Recipe
Happy 4th of July!!
And more importantly in our house, Happy Birthday Husband!!
While 4th of July is a perfect excuse for a creative red, white, and blue themed dessert, sometimes you just need to go with a classic.
It’s not altered, it’s not made healthy, it’s just what the bag says. What bag? The infamous Tollhouse chocolate chip bag.
{Ok I lied, I used Earth Balance because that’s all I had- but still. Close enough.}
When the birthday boy requests cookie cake for his birthday, the birthday boy gets cookie cake. Which of course makes me love him even more, since cookie cake is what I requested for my birthday for years since I hated cake.
Have you ever seen the Friends episode where Monica works tirelessly to uncover the secret of Phoebe’s grandma’s cookie recipe? Spoiler alert: turn over the bag of Tollhouse chocolate chips.
{Or use store brand chocolate chips like me and follow the recipe online for the Original Nestle Tollhouse Chocolate Chip cookie, but don’t tell Tollhouse you cheated.}
I wish I could blame this decorating job on a child, but unfortunately, I claim full responsibility.
Don’t worry, I took care of “cleaning” the bowl. And by cleaning, I do in fact mean licking.
This is the first year we’ve celebrated the 4th of July and the husband’s birthday at home in maybe 4 years, so we’re off to go find out where the fireworks happen!
What’s your favorite classic dessert? And how are you celebrating the 4th?!
