Most of you are familiar with THE chocolate chip cookie, and those of you who are regulars here are familar with OUR chocolate chip and oatmeal cookies, you know, the ones in the cookie jars near the cash register. Some of you come in every day just to get your fix. What you don't know is that we've been making those cookies for over a quarter century. Back in the early 80s when I was looking around for the best cookie recipes and I was overwhelmed with the variety and styles, I finally threw up my hands and called Mum. We haven't looked back. On any given day, we sell anywhere from a few dozen to a thousand cookies! Yippee! It is well known in my family that my mother was not a great cook, but she did teach me the basics and she did a few things very, very well. Chocolate chip and oatmeal cookies were right up there. Sadly, my mother passed away on Sunday. She lived a long and fruitful life, cooked for lots of people, cared most about sharing the love and so today, anyone who asks me can have one of Mum's cookies...for free! Love you Mum. This photo is from 1953! The cookies in it are my mother and my sister, Meg.
