This cookie jar is a twin to one my Grandma always had in her kitchen. It was always stocked with homemade cookies ...usually chocolate chip which were my Grandpa's favorite! I searched for quite a few years to find this Pig. So every time I see him in my kitchen I am instantly reminded of my wonderful Grandma Catherine. I have tried many chocolate chip cookie recipes over the years but never found one that seemed like her cookies. I even have her exact recipe but they never turn out like hers always did!!?? I don't know what her special secret was.
I have however found one that I love ... and it seems like they are a close taste and texture match!
So I am pleased to stock my Pig with these yummies! If you like to bake, give them a try soon. Your family and friends will appreciate the results.
