My son has graduated. He has learned a mandatory life skill: how to make the family chocolate chip cookie dough. There are a few tangible things I can exchange with my sisters that will be a surefire remedy to a tough or sh*tty day. Raw chocolate chip cookie dough. And we are cookie dough snobs. We all make this recipe from memory. I sorta measure the ingredients. The outcome is judged by the TASTE. For me, other comfort foods include my baked ziti, my mother’s chicken and dumplings with white rice, little tiny squares of Dove dark chocolate with Jif peanut butter smeared on the back and an English muffin with jam and crumbled bacon.
