My Favorite Cookies

Its that time of year where everything is pumpkin and Brenda makes a cookie that is no exception. Soft with a cake-like texture loaded with chips and nuts, Ben gets these made for him every year. I force the nut thing as I love them in everything but especially, cookies!

My personal favorite is Chicago Crunch from an old friend of ours. These special chocolate chip cookies have oats and cornflakes that give them their special texture and crunch. I of  course insist on a handfull of walnuts to round out their superior milk dipping
