Warning

Baking or being under the influence of homemade chocolate chip cookies can alter some people's behavior. So the following warning is provided as a public service.

WARNING: These cookies may be hazardous to your self-esteem. The mere smell of them baking has been shown to cause drooling in adult females. Consuming them while still warm can result in a complete collapse of one's self-control. Excessive consumption will cause weight gain.

So please consume with caution. All those rich and creamy morsels of dark chocolate chips with extra cocoa butter are delicious but very fattening. If you can't resist crispy chocolate chip cookies made from scratch, don't blame me. I warned you!
