One of the things I like to do to maintain a healthy lifestyle is keep a container of cookie dough in the fridge. There are just so many emergencies that require a cookie fix. Everyone loves chocolate chip cookies and I feel so mom-ish if my kids come home and I have some freshly baked snacks and that warm cookie smell in the kitchen.

Big Fat Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies from Sally’s Baking Addiction You can feel better eating cookies with oats and the protein in peanut butter. These are beautifully substantial. Get out a glass of cold milk!

For a fancy flight to France, try World Peace Cookies by Pierre Hermé and Dorie Greenspan. These are astonishing– a truly terrific texture and a deep chocolate experience. Like no other cookie I have made before. The video in the link is helpful as you journey into preparing these unique bites.
