Gimme a double. There are times when single just won’t do. Like at In-N-Out. Don’t get me wrong, there are times when single is perfectly wonderful. Single scoops at Baskin Robbins. Weekends in Vegas. Even regular old, single, Chocolate Chip Cookies. I love regular old, single, Chocolate Chip Cookies. And these Double Chocolate Cookies are a lot like them. They’re just Double. They’re one louder.
