It wasn't until much later that I ate the chocolate chip cookie from Levain. (See - I do have self-control.) In my book, if the cookie costs 3 bucks, it better be great. This one didn't disappoint. It was a heavy cookie. It was a thick cookie. The damn thing was at least an inch thick and chock full of chips. When I took it out of the brown bag, it had telltale grease spots, plenty of butter and/or shortening was used. The cookie was soft in the middle, but crunchy on the outside. It entertained me with its flavors as I waited for the intermission of my friend's play to end. I forgot to add that there were nuts in the cookie. I'm usually not a fan of nuts in cookies, but the walnuts added a wonderful third dimension of taste and texture. My nutty friend Sara is in a benefit performance of "The Vagina Monologues." At the performances they sell chocolate vagina lollipops. I'm glad I ate the cookie because I'm not so in touch with milk chocolate vaginas to be licking one on a stick. I prefer dark chocolate. But if you want one go to www.vaginavlog.com or go to the play on Tuesday, all proceeds go to a nonprofit women's group.
