Today, August 4, is National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day.

As most of my readers know, I have multiple chocolate chip cookie recipes on my menu. Each one is different in significant ways. Some have a different blend of chunks vs. chips. Some have a different blend of semisweet vs. dark chocolate. Some are made with different flours.
The bottom line is that each one is unique in some way. And they are all delicious. I think that even a bad chocolate chip cookie (relatively speaking) is still pretty darn good.
My favorite thing to do is to use a variety of types of chocolate in cookies. I love the complexity of flavor that comes out. It's a deeper flavor, more interesting, and more chocolaty, I think. But whether you use one type or many, they are still awesome. Agreed?
The most important thing is to use the best chocolate you can find. Get a good cookie recipe and an excellent chocolate, and you will have an excellent cookie.
I could commemorate the day by baking some. But I'm not planning on baking any chocolate chip cookies today because I really don't feel like running my oven on this excessively hot afternoon.
That's all for today. Go out and get yourself a good cookie.
