Chocolate cookies are fragrant and chocolaty treats that bring love and good mood, thanks to the chocolate, which is the main ingredient.
They are easy to make and suitable for any occasion. They can be served as dessert, for breakfast, as a snack, or for special occasions like Valentine’s Day.
They are not just a delight for the palate but also offer various benefits
Chocolate is known for its gratifying effect, thanks to substances like serotonin and phenylethylamine, which can improve mood and reduce stress. A chocolate cookie, with its mix of sweetness and crunchiness, is perfect for indulging in a moment of pampering and relaxation.
Thanks to the combination of carbohydrates and sugars, chocolate cookies provide quick energy, making them ideal for a fast breakfast or a snack between activities.
They are easy to transport and store, making them a practical option for any occasion.
Who, like me, associates them with childhood memories, happy moments spent with family, with grandmothers and aunts who are now just a sweet memory? Do you never stop for a moment and watch the world as a spectator? To reflect on the changes of loved ones, on how they have grown, aged, on how we were and how we are now…time slips away, but fortunately, memories do not.
