Chewy Gooey chocolate chip cookies

E walked in on me while I was doing my daily blog reading. I had that guilty look on my face, like I knew I had already spent way too much time doing this. Seriously, I could spend all day going from blog to blog. He interrupted me to say that he wanted cookies. REALLY? E never ever eats any of the sweet treats that I make, take that back, he only eats the cookies I make. Not to say that he doesn't support my baking. Not at all, why he is the one who gave me the BEAUTIFUL KA mixer.

However, when E asks for some sweet bakings I love to make it for him because I know he will savor it, even if it only lasts a couple minutes. I sometimes think that I am selfish for getting off on him enjoying my treats. I guess its like those things that you don't get all the time so when you get it, you appreciate it a lot more than if you were to get it everyday. Get it? No? Me either, I think I confused myself too. Okay.

When I was little I loved going to pool parties, and once I was in, you could not get me out. Candy, sunburn, or even cake- yes cake, would not get me out. I was a wrinkly and happy kid frolicking in the community lagoon. So, of course when my mom started to look at houses to live in, my only condition was that it had to have a pool. i dreamed of playing all day everyday, getting my handstands just right, playing marco polo, and perfecting my cannon ball. Once we moved in, it was not much different than how I imagined. Then, the next week I went out less until not at all. I still loved to go swimming but why did it not have that same charm that irresistibly anymore? It was there! I had it whenever i wanted it and it was no longer special. Thanks mom for ruining my pool days, :) More like thanks for spoiling me! That's why kids appreciate things more when they don't get it all the time.

Well, back to the point, I love it when E wants me to make him something. Chocolate chip cookies were what he asked for of course! But, alas, we were out of eggs! oh no!! What to do? Well experiment of course. What came was a delicious little chewy gooey chocolate chip cookie.
