1 - Segal cookie recipe... bowl of: 2 1/4 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda; beat in with handheld in order: 1 cup of room temp butter (don’t melt), 1/2 cup white sugar, 1 cup brown sugar, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 2 room temp eggs, 3 cups @nestletollehouse semisweet.

2 - Put in fridge for a few hours, then heaping tablespoons of batter on tray, they should be tall not flat or wide
Bake for 9 mins at 365. Every oven is different so this is trial and error.
Remove from oven and sprinkle immediately with sea salt
Remove from tray to cool

3 - My then girlfriend and now wife made them with me in high school. Now our kids do so with me. Every few years I’ve iterated as I’ve learned from others and become more patient (yes, I was even less patient earlier in life)

4 - Make it your own. Make tweaks and share what you like.

5 - My cookie journey is a microcosm for good life lessons. Find something you enjoy. Do things that make others happy. Keep improving. Accept that others may do things differently. Share the things that make you happy. Too much of anything is rarely a good thing!

6 - Sharing today was a blast. And @bonappetweet surprised me and invited my own hero to come enjoy. Thanks for coming in, Dad!

7 - Oh yeah... #LoveWhereYouWork !!
