<p>Who can resist freshly baked homemade chocolate chip cookies (or any kind of cookie, for that matter?) How do you like to eat your chocolate chip cookies . . . Warm? With a glass of cold milk? With a cup of coffee?</p> <p>But guess what? You could enjoy those cookies even more if you share some of them with another person. Maybe a friend who is going through a rough time.</p> <p>Consider also giving the person frozen cookies; for, as one mother said, “If you bring cookies frozen then I can have the delight of sending fresh goodies in my children’s lunch boxes or surprise them with a special after school snack.”</p> <p>Invite your children to help in the cookie making project. Maybe they would like to decorate a box or a bag in which the cookies can be given to the friend. Also suggest that they design a “Get Well” card or “Thinking of You” card to accompany the gift of cookies.</p> <p>If the cookies are for a child, you might like to include the book, <em><a href="http://www.amazon.com/If-You-Give-Mouse-Cookie/dp/0060245867" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">If You Give a Mouse a Cookie</a>.</em></p> <p>Here is my favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe:</p> <p>Ingredients:<br>1 C.
