I'm going to share a little secrete with you - I have a weakness for sweets, Ahhhhhh! Yes, it's true! As much as I love eating healthy (green smoothies, organic foods, limited carbs) and working out regularly (hiking, pilates, gym time)...It's just pretty darn difficult for me to ixnay the cookies, cake, ice cream, gelato, pastries...especially if it's chocolate, Mmmmmmmmm.

| Giant Auntie Em's Kitchen Cookies |
Well, there it is - and since admittedly, I will never give up my annoyingly lovable sweet tooth, you know what I'm going do? Flaunt it and tempt YOU with my confectionately sweet findings! Aren't I devilishly nice. That's right, I said findings, with an (Sssss)...more to come this year.
**Another fabulous ideas struck me this year. Introducing...Video Segments of my blog...YAY!!**

I visited 'Auntie Em's Kitchen' to savor their Chocolate Chip Cookie, which was featured on the Food Network Channel, Check It Out

Auntie Em's Kitchen, yep, the name comes from the 'Wizard of OZ' is a charming little restaurant, marketplace and cafe
Once inside you are enveloped by a whimsical entryway bursting with colors that only the child inside of you could have imagined
But I wasn't there to paint my pallet with their delightful seasonal food menu, Oh No! To quote, the wonderful Sesame Street character, Cookie Monster, "COOKIES!!! UMM-NUM-NUM-NUM-NUM!!!"
As the waiter glided over to me about to charm me with his best smile, I burst out with "two cookies please". Not two for me silly, one for me and one for my friend, Jason. You were thinking me an oink, oink, huh?
As quick as a force 5 tornado (wink wink) I had this giant, flat, hard looking cookie staring me right in the face, challenging me to nibble on it
But I looked at it slightly disenchanted and thought? Huh, how could you, a tortilla looking cookie possibly satisfy my craving for a soft, gooey chocolate chip cookie? Look, Mr. Cookie, let's get something straight, I'm a warm soft cookie gal, not a crusty, crunchy, dunk it in coffee or milk gal
But...I was sitting there already with the cookie in front of me, what was I gonna do? Not eat it? Puleeze, it's a cookie folks, of course I'm gonna eat it. It's gonna be good right?
'Itsy bitsy spider', in goes the cookie
I must be in Kansas (you knew that was coming somewhere, huh?) because me loves this frisbee looking cookie. Although, I judged it by it's rough and tough exterior, I was fooled. It was surprisingly soft and chewy (in the center) and generously covered in quarter sized chocolate chips - what a treat. It was only on the outer edges that it was crunchy but I liked it. The crunchy crumbs tantalizingly melted in my mouth leaving my taste buds savoring a carmelly taste...mmmmmmmmm
Now, why didn't I get coffee or milk to go with this, hello??
So, here's what I say: "Put 'em up! Put 'em up!" said the Cowardly Lion, "to your mouth", I say. This cookie befriends the hard and soft cookie camps. It's delightfully soft, it's just the right amount of crunch -- it's the best of both cookie worlds! Only one slight problem, you might feel like a total piggly wiggly if you devour the whole thing (psst, like I did) but what's life, if your aren't livin'!
