Sweet Spot: 7 Outrageous Twists on the Classic Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

Oh, I know. We're modern women. We work. We weight lift. We don't have time for the retro sundries of the 1950s housewife. But, the beginning of the school year makes me try a little harder to give my kids classic memories. It's a good time to indulge in the comfort of traditions, too. Plus, don't you just want ONE day of the year when you're "that" mom?! The one waving neighborhood kids into the house, tucking them around home-baked cookies and giant glasses of milk, and talking about their days before shooing them off to finish homework? Well, we may not be able to do it every day, but this year, we're gonna do it for at least one of our days, dangit. I've gone through and pulled together 7 modern twists on the most classic recipe ever: the chocolate chip cookie. A little bit crazy, a whole lotta gorgeous, just as good as the original. Sound like any mom you know? (Hint: that's you, dollface.) Happy New Year of School! - By Brooke McLay
