Cookies. The culmination of millennia of treat making lore. The ultimate delicious nugget of baked goodness. Cookies.

I don't really like most cookies. Now, now, now - put the big sticks away and let me explain. There are some cookies that put me into something approaching an orgasmic trance. It's just that the cookies that do this are (luckily for you) fairly rare. There are Salerno butter cookies. Milanos from Pepperidge Farms. Cocoa chocolate chip cookies from ... well ... me. Necessity is the mother of invention and since no elves bothered to learn how to make cocoa chocolate chip cookies I had to take this as my own mission. You, my lovely readers, benefit now from my efforts.

How to make Jim's Cocoa Chocolate Chip Cookies

Step 1: Tell somebody that you're going to make them some Cocoa Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Step 2: Wait a month or so.

Step 3: Offer various lame excuses about why the cookies aren't there yet. Illnesses in the house, a bombing at the post office and death all work well at least once.

Step 4: Wait another month until the excuses run out.

Step 5: Get off your ass and make the damned cookies already.

2 Looks yummy. But you left out the beer. Where does the beer come in?

3 You could use beer liberally in the preparation stage as it's disconnected from the cooking and consumption stage. Beer with baking cookies is...ugh...flashback coming on here. My housemate E-dogg had a favored snack of graham crackers dipped in beer. Ugh.
