Jenna's Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Cookies: Effortlessly Delicious

She's Sweet, She's Sophisticated and She's Comfort in a Bite.

“In the cookie of life, friends are the chocolate chips" - Salman Rushdie

Always late. It's become a serious downfall I'll admit. I was late when I met you the first time... still uncomfortable with the layout of the city after being confined to the four walls of my apartment for two years. I remember I made the mistake of deciding to drive and suddenly found myself almost forty minutes late to our scheduled cocktail. The second time I met you, I almost canceled. I had drunk an entire bottle and a half of wine the night before and the thought of going to a winery with your friends made me want to puke. I remember the disappointment yet understanding in your voice when I said I wanted to cancel. The third time I met you, I got myself kicked out of your friend's party. I'd never stirred up so much trouble in my life and I kept asking myself... am I the drama? You assured me it wasn't my fault. Through all of this, you stayed. You stayed when I was late, irresponsible, and dramatic. You stayed when I called you crying again, and again and again when I thought the heartbreak couldn't get any worse. You stayed when I dumped my struggles on you and as time went on you became my most dependable friend. The one that would stand up to the bullies, and the demonic city squirrels and you became the city sister I needed and the California mom to give me a dose of reality. I don't know what I would do without you. You're sweet, you're thoughtful, you're fierce and you're my friend. So cheers to my Jenna for being patient and for being the kindness we experience with every bite of a chocolate chip cookie.
