A Classic

Leave a Comment on A Classic

I love a classic chocolate chip cookie. Nothing fancy just the addition of chocolate chips. Good quality chocolate chips, of course. I’ve tried lots of different recipes but I keep coming back to this one. These cookies aren’t too crispy and aren’t too chewy but a mix of both. I’d say they are the perfect balance.

We have had a lot of social distancing visits in the backyard, as of late. I love having something homemade when kids come over and this fits the bill. Most kids I know love this classic – almost as much as the adults.

I’ve made this recipe more times than I can count – so much so that I don’t even need the recipe anymore. It’s saved to memory. That’s saying a lot because I can’t memorize anything anymore.

I could eat ice cream all day long. It’s one of my favourite treats. So many flavours to choose from – how to decide? Here’s the truth – mint chocolate chip ice cream is not my favourite flavour, not even close. I’d pick, pralines and cream, strawberry, or an orange sherbet well before I picked mint chocolate chip, but that’s not the case for one of my little girls. This is her favourite flavour.

I enjoy making ice cream but I don’t do it often and I don’t have much storage space in my kitchen so, I put the ice cream maker away and stick with store-bought. This past Spring, we did a big purge/spring cleaning and I came across our well loved but forgotten ice cream maker. I pulled it out from behind the waffle maker, espresso machine, pasta maker, you get the idea and started making homemade ice cream. Everything changed. I was reminded that there’s nothing better than this creamy, sweet, homemade treat on hot summer days and it’s been hot.

I have a lot of making up to do – starting with this tasty Spearmint and Chocolate Chip ice cream. You’ll have to hurry up and eat it, because in this heat it’s melting fast!
