The Kindness of Chocolate Cookies

"Chocolate is the first luxury.  It has so many things wrapped up in it:  Deliciousness in the moment, childhood memories, and that grin-inducing feeling of getting a reward for being good."
~ Mariska Hargitay

One of my colleagues in another city introduced me to a delicious confection in her hometown.  The perfect cookie for a chocoholic.  I have not seen it in any other city to which I have been.  Imagine my delight when I recently opened a box that she sent with a tin of the cookies for my family and me for Christmas!
