I'm not much one for holidays. Any day of the year that involves an implied pressure to a) shop and b) summon certain heightened emotions always immediately makes me uncomfortable. But red is my color and I do love chocolate so I don't completely hate on Valentine's Day. I just prefer to do it my way.
There's no food that says "I love you" quite like chocolate chip cookies. They're warm and comforting, but also relaxed and playful. They are equally well-received by lovers and besties, which makes them a dark horse hit for Valentines of all relationship statuses. And on a holiday that rewards those who go big, why not go about as big as it gets?
