Quarantine Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

Quarantine Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

With the outbreak and spread of COVID-19 and changing circumstances, things have felt quite unsettled and alarming. I don't know about you, but when life is uncertain, a comfortable batch of chocolate chip cookies are exactly what I need. There is nothing quite like the simpleness of a chocolate chip cookie to make you feel nostalgic and remind you of everything good.

I knew I had to try this recipe out; the cut up chocolate bar adds a beautiful rustic and gourmet look to the cookies over traditional chocolate chips (though those are delicious as well). 

Since it has been a time where more time has been spent at home, these cookies feel like you just went to a gourmet bakery, and they received rave reviews from those who they were shared with.

Making and baking these cookies and enjoying them with others proved to be a highlight. The chopping of the chocolate, the measuring and mixing of the ingredients, the sunlight spilling in through the windows, the sound of the mixer, the scooping of the dough, the excitement that a delicious treat was soon coming out of the oven, all brought back some of the normalcy of life and feeling that everything was okay. Sometimes it is the simple things that are just the perfect comforts and reminders. And sometimes all life needs is some chocolate chip cookies.
