Tori's Baked Goods — Chocolate Chip Cookie

The chocolate chip cookie, made from scratch by hand in Modesto. Crisp edge, soft middle, real chocolate.

There is no trick to a great chocolate chip cookie, only doing it properly: real butter, real chocolate, a dough that is mixed by hand and baked in small batches the day it is sold. Tori's has none of the preservatives, dough conditioners or oils that keep a packaged cookie soft on a shelf for months. It is made to be eaten today or tomorrow, and it tastes like the one you would bake yourself if you had the afternoon.

Who this is for

• You want a bakery cookie, not a wrapped one from the register
• A lunchbox or after-school treat that is homemade because it is
• Kids, guests, or a Tuesday
• You are picking up sourdough and want something sweet from the same oven

Details

Sold each. Contains wheat, dairy and eggs; may contain nuts. Best within two days in an airtight container; ten seconds in the microwave brings back the melt.
