Two-bite, one-bowl, second wind chocolate chunk cookies
Cookies
Double shifts at the restaurant are long, exhausting, and, at their worst, soul-robbing. (You restaurant people know what I mean.) The antidote? Cookies! When I first started bringing baskets of cookies to work, it was just a way for me dole out the excesses of my periodic baking fits. But it turns out that they also take the edge off of a difficult night, giving threadbare servers and cooks a little push to go on. They are at once a bite of comfort food and a shot of sugar-- just enough to help power through the rough spots. I cut the cookies into tiny squares so that they go down fast when there isn't any time to take a break (and there never really is). I make all kinds of cookies to take to work, but this is the recipe I make the most often. These cookies are fast, easy, and have just a tiny bit of cinnamon to make them subtly interesting and a perfect match for the milk chocolate. I'm not sure if my co-workers will remember these exact cookies, but maybe they'll remember the cloth-lined basket piled high with sweet little squares of motivation to power them through the night. <br /> <br />
