You replace chocolate chips with some nasty fucking jujubes??!!! Jesus fucking christ, what a disappointment to fat people everywhere, you are.

The recipe on the back of the chocolate chip bag is the One True Recipe as far as I’m concerned. Do not fuck with greatness. I mean, you can use dark chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate, or those weird mint chocolate chips if you want, but the basic recipe is not to be messed with.

You mean people _eat_ jujubes?

I thought they only existed to throw at the screen during a lame-ass movie.

Putting them in cookies just… I mean… I… really… I’ll be under my desk sucking my thumb :eek:

I would like to get in on this awesome making money at home plan you guys have figured out. Pretty please with extra chocolate chips on top?

Also, I like the way this chat has turned.

I’d like to thank **faithfool** _and_ **IvoryTowerDenizen**.  
The chips are adding up nicely for me, as well. The bread recipe sounds lovely, and it’s on the menu for this weekend.

Forgive me for trolling for pats on the back. Things have decidedly terrible lately and I needed a “good atcha!”.
