Recipe FOMO

I keep trying chocolate chip cookie recipes. I'm not really sure why. (Almost) every time I say, "This is the one! I love it!" And then a few weeks later I try another one. I can't stop, what if there is a better chocolate chip recipe out there?

A recipe with browned butter? Yes, please. But, maybe not when I have a strong craving, because it takes too long.

A recipe with sea salt on top? I never want to make a cookie without again.

This recipe has one egg and one yolk. Honestly, I'm not totally sure why. Two eggs seems easier.

Almost every recipe specifies 2 1/4 c. flour, so guess that's what I should do every time instead of 2 c.

Every week when I make my menu plan I forget what my life is actually like, and plan as if I have all the time and focus to make amazing food. (Butternut squash and carmelized onion galette? Yes please.) I don't actually have time for that. I have a very clingy baby who just wants to be held lately. But what if there's an amazing recipe out there I don't get to?

This is what keeps me up at night. Just kidding. That would be said baby.

Please, hold me, Mama.
