4:05pm chocolate chip cookies

If M. had 2 eggs and a box of brownie mix, I had 2 sticks of butter and a cup of old Scharffen Berger semi-sweet chocolate chunks. On a whim I googled Tate's Bake Shop chocolate chip cookie recipe, and to my delight, there it was. They don't turn out quite as perfect as Tate's makes them, but they're pretty damn good and absolutely satisfy a craving. With 2 sticks of butter, you can't go wrong.
