Best *cinnamon* Chocolate Chip Cookies
October 19, 2014
The last several days have been a tousled mix of rough sand and jaunty stardust. My *attempt* at conjuring a verily belated birthday crêpe cake was an epic disaster (incriminating evidence is still stuck to the disenchanted stove) and, after what should have been a 10 minute excursion, I was overwhelmingly reminded why I avoid big supermarket chains in favour of my cosy local market. Also, Cookie Monster unfollowed me on Twitter. On the upside, I defied a beguiling fear of working with yeast; via challah bread + handsome buttery brioche cinnamon rolls (aka, Tom Hiddleston sticky buns), and I discovered a cosmic, new-to-me, coffee that's dark & smouldering without a bitter curtain call. Also, these cookies!!

When I fall in love (with an ingredient), I tend to use it with reckless abandon. Lately cinnamon has made its sprucey way onto my yoghurt, oatmeal, ice cream, countertop (and yes, even rice). I cannot get enough of this nimble spice. It was only a matter of time & space before I introduced my beloved butter to fickle cinnamon.
Why Tom Hiddleston? I chose the title because of the way it flows off the tongue. It's not exactly seamless but it purrs and crunches and has a lush texture. Also, well...you know; maybe, perhaps, serendipitous-stratosphere permitting...
