Just throwing this out there: Big ups to Starbucks for pulling through with brewing up an ALMOND MILK latte for me today…

Walked in and picked me up some Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk from Wild By Nature (Thank you King Kullen offspring for creating a Wild By Nature that is in close proximity to me)…proceeded to walk 25 steps to the nearest Starbucks with my unopened carton of non-dairy goodness and once I met my barista and explained the deets on my strict dietary needs, without any hesitation she opened up the fresh container and frothed up the foamiest steamed almond milk your eyes could possibly never imagine.

For $2.20 I left Starbucks with a Venti sized cup of warm cozy and PALEO caffeine and a buzz that no amount of prescribed psychoanalytic medicines could ever control…aka I’m bouncing off the wall!! My next endeavor will probably be to invest in a milk steamer so that I can re-create the magic I just experienced in the comforts of my own home without looking like a freak bringing in an entire carton of almond milk for steaming pleasure.

1. Use good chocolate. For a long time, I refused to splurge on good chocolate chips, but a good rule of thumb is to never bake with chocolate you wouldn’t eat alone. I am particularly fond of Callebaut, which is not too pricy.


2. Rotate your cookie sheets halfway through baking.


3. For chewy cookies: when you transfer your cookies to the cooling rack, they should still be a little liquid, almost to the point where you can’t lift them up from the sheet without them falling apart.


4. For exceptionally chewy cookies: In his class at Central Market, David Lebovitz mentioned that tapping the tops of cookies with a spatula halfway through baking makes for extra chewiness.


5. If you like nuts in your cookies, try toasted hazelnuts.


6. Most importantly: refrigerate your dough overnight. This allows the flavors to marry and increases chewiness. In Ready for Dessert, David Lebovitz recommends dividing the dough, rolling it into logs of 9 inches long, and wrapping them in saran wrap.
