5 Star Chocolate Chip Cookies – Me too Confession

5star chocolate chip cookies from best food blog 5starcookies

Hello dear Universe,

It is me, the chocolate addict. Can you hear me?

Of course, I can. You silly, human being!-the Universe is laughing.

For a moment I was thinking, was I just slightly abused? (silly, human being…I have feeling, you Universe

How dare you!)

However, the chocolate in me prevented all of my unhappy fillings to be exposed towards the Universe.  (so, thank you, chocolate)

After all, I have a very special mission.

I need to share this with the billions and billions of people.

And for sure, the Universe can help.

So, with the help from the Universe I am sharing the best chocolate chip cookies.
