The Only Chocolate Chip Cookie You’ll Ever Need
Well, we’ve been sheltering in place now for about 3 days, and the truth is, I haven’t been this busy in a long time!!! You would think that not going to work everyday, I would find myself with too much time on my hands, which would result in a lot of napping, tv watching, eating, napping, tv watching, napping, and so on and so forth. Well that’s not really happening around here. First and foremost, I vowed that everyday I’m home I would run a mile. I know to some of you, a mile isn’t much, but when it’s been a very (and I mean very) long time since I ran, a mile is a good place to start. I’ve also committed to reading for some part of the day each day. I’ve also been busy keeping up with editing video content for my church’s website and Facebook, and as I mentioned in my last post, reviving my long forgotten YouTube Channel.
So today, in addition to editing a bunch of video, I shot a video for some amazingly delicious chocolate chip cookies. These aren’t your average chocolate chip cookies, these are like meal replacement chocolate chip cookies, like maybe a couple meal replacement cookies. The best part of them is that you don’t have to wait to soften the butter, and you can have them mixed up in almost no time. The hardest part is waiting for them to cool so you can eat them. You can watch the video here.
