This was one of many great treats that we were lucky enough to have for our school lunches—and we had something special every single day. In my memory, Mom always baked Chocolate Chip Cookies for the first day of school. Today, I still insist on having them each year when school starts. Mine never have turned out like hers, but they’re a hit all the same.—Keith |
