Cookie Endorphins?
I realize that cookies are not the ideal post-workout snack but I suppose I don’t fully buy into the whole ‘no pain, no gain’ philosophy. So after today’s workout, I found myself at Ted & Honey, a neighborhood spot where I bought myself a chocolate chip oatmeal cookie.
Yay, Ted & Honey! This cookie has the right amount of salt and great little pockets where sugar has caramelized next to an oat. Overall it had good consistency and the addition of the oats gave it a nice texture. The combination of endorphins + sugar + salt packs a powerful punch. I just wish that the chocolate was better - maybe bigger, darker and more flavorful chips. There were enough of them - it was beautifully freckled with chips - but they didn’t have enough chocolate flavor.
This leaves me wondering - what are the best chocolate chips out there to bake with? Where can they be found?!
