Wake Up Cookie Eaters, You're Time Has Come!

Dear Cookie Baking World,

Chocolate chip cookies are not simply a vehicle for chocolate chips. If I wanted to eat chocolate chips (and I occasionally do), I would open a bag of them and fill my mouth up (ha ha - I like to fill up my mouth).

A chocolate chip cookie should be a cookie first and foremost, and a cookie that has some chocolate chips in second. No one would look at a blob of peanut butter on a plate and say "hey, peanut butter cookies!". It's just absurd.

Studies (and by studies I mean that I like to eat cookies) show that in the last five years both the number and size of chocolate chips in cookies has risen dramatically. Beyond the simple chocolate chip, cookies all over America are being soiled by unnecessary additives. Exotic dried fruits, nuts, and candies are overflowing from our cookies, and the madness must stop.

Until cookies are again defined by their dough, and consumed for the pure love of confection, not their overstuffed contents, we will never be free.

Thank you,
Mason Weaver
