Chocolate Chip Cookies An old man is lying on his death bed. With only hours to live, he suddenly notices the scent ofchocolate chip cookies coming from the kitchen. With his last bit of energy, the old man pulls himself out from his bed, across the floor to the stairs, and downthe stairs to the kitchen.There, the old man’s wife is bakingchocolate chip cookies. With his last ounce of energy, the old man reaches for a cookie. His wife, however, quickly smacks him across the back of his hand.
I assumed it might be in reference to Thomas Keller’s Ad Hoc recipe or that Neiman Marcus urban legend. But the cute box these cookies come in makes no mention of either in its description, just that “The cookies showcase the power of simple ingredients well-wrought into a classic recipe: great butter great Chocolate cookies = Highbrow cookies.” Nowhere does it explain what makes the butter and chocolate chips they used to make these so “great.
Not the cute box, cute font, or cute illustrations but rather the fact that the cookies come in two tiers that are individually wrapped in plastic. Each tier contains seven cookies, meaning, if you don’t want these to get stale, you have to seal them or the like. Either that or eat the seven in one sitting.Suffice it to say, these Trader Joe’s Highbrow Chocolate Chip Cookies bring out your inner Cookie Monster. Cookies! Perfect way to spend a dreary day? Sitting at home, lounging in an armchair and enjoying these with a class of milk. Nom!.
