Jimmy's Cookies, Fairlawn NJ. The Alpha & Omega of Chocolate Chip Cookies

Everyone goes through milestones. Some can alter your view of the world, affecting your thoughts and actions from that moment on. 
This is not one of these.

Jimmy's Gourmet Cookies.

This milestone is baked, round, and contains delicious chocolate chunks.  But it is a milestone never the less.  B.C. became Before Cookies & every day since then has been a little bit brighter and lighter (unless you are my bathroom scale).

I have never blogged, but these cookies have compelled me to do so. I have never bought tubs of cookies in quantities over 3 before, but these cookies have the power. They're great with milk, great without milk. Perfect for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a late-night snack. But mostly, they're good in great, heaping quantities. 

Had to buy 4 at once. 
No, I don't have a problem.

Not bad for you!  An
excuse to eat more!

 Here are the ingredients in case you can't see:  Unbleached wheat flour, Semi-Sweet Chocolate, Sugar, Brown Sugar, Liquid Soybean Oil, Palm Oil, Egg Whites, Water, Soybean Lecithin, Baking Soda, Vegetable Mono and Diglycerides, Natural Flavor, Pure Vanilla Extract, Salt, Anatto. May contain traces of nuts or peanuts.  Contains: Wheat, Eggs, Milk, Soy.

Wait! Who ate my cookies? 
Oh, right, I did. 

So come on, they're even good for you?  Maybe I'll have another one.  Whole Wheat flour is much healthier than the bleached kind.  But somehow it is smooth and delicious like cookies you'd only expect from grandma's kitchen.  They are soft and chewy, but they don't fold in half when you pick them up. The chocolate is not too sweet or bitter (I love dark, dark chocolate, hubby likes milk chocolate) but we both agree the chocolate chips are amazing.  And soybean oil is so healthy and good for you.

Unless of course you eat 5-10 per day.  Which I did for quite a while, utterly abandoning any moderation in favor of experiencing the deliciousness at home, at work and in the car. 5 lbs later, I've decided it's time to try and cut back.  So now three a day is my max.

I did also try their oatmeal raisin, and while I wish i could also give it 5 stars, those were kind of dry.I do like oatmeal raisin cookies, so this was disappointing, but not enough that i couldn't finish that carton in less than a week.

Their website was not hard to find <http://www.jimmyscookies.net/> but it is very modest, unassuming, and fits perfectly in every way with the way I imagined the company to be.  They do offer wholesale inquiries, so I might take advantage of that. In conclusion, try these cookies.
