National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day: The One Cookie Theory

There are foods that inspire endless debate. Burgers. Pizza. Barbecue. Then there are chocolate chip cookies. Nobody argues about whether they belong in the dessert hall of fame. The only real debate starts after the first one.

It always begins with the best of intentions. “I’ll just have one.”

One becomes two because the second one is obviously for comparison. Three is simply to confirm your findings. Somewhere around four or five, you’ve stopped conducting research and have entered a completely different phase of the experiment.

For photography, chocolate chip cookies are deceptively simple. Every crack, every chocolate chip, every highlight and shadow has to look just right. A cookie that tastes great isn’t always the one that photographs the best, and the one that photographs perfectly may not survive long enough to make it back to the kitchen.

Fortunately, these did.

Happy National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day.
