Chocolate Chip Cookie

You are like a chocolate chip cookie…
Everybody loves you.
As do I.
I mean what’s not to love?
Chocolate chips are sexy!
And so are you.
But you’re so much more than chocolate chips.
You’re my kind of dough.
You’re just the right ratio of butter and flour.
You’re definitely sweet.
But with a pinch of salt.
Most importantly, you’re baked just right.
As firm as you need to be.
But with a warm and gooey center.
You are layered with beauty and flavor.
And oh, how I crave you.
I want to dip you in a tall glass of milk.
