The Bestest Cookies Ever!

My second fondest memory of high school, aside from doing crazy ridiculous things Im sure I will encourage my children never to do, was recess. Not for the jungle gym or the gossip at the long tables. It was the cookies. Warm freshly made 90 cent cookies that had substance to them. They weren't like those cookies you get from a box or a pre made dough. These cookies weren't flat or boring, these were real cookies. These cookies had something no other cookies had. DUNKABILITY. And I mean these cookies were tough. A real man's cookie. Day in and day out we bought these cookies, along with a single serving carton of "if it moos you win" milk. Though the carton never mooed, we would open it from both sides and revel in the taste of warm gooey cookie soaked in cold refreshing milk. And thus, I give you .... THE BESTEST COOKIES EVER (or at least my attempt to recreate it)
