that one time i baked...
...and people actually asked for seconds...and thirds...and fourths!
I'm notorious for baking new things, only to learn they taste like memory foam or I forgot an ingredient. The effort is always there - the end result is not always edible.
I found myself searching the Interwebs for a Potbelly cookie look-alike recipe aka the best oatmeal chocolate chip cookies in all the land. I found this one and went for it.
And you guys, I never brag about my baking because there's nothing to brag about. But these? These were GOOD. Better than good.
So just for that, I will share the recipe with you because no one should be deprived a decent cookie in their life.

| Sick of having a hand covered in flour just to get another scoop, I opted to cut the top of the bag. Needless to say, I was proud of this moment. |
