when it rains in charleston, it pours. and floods. and makes everyone in the entire city miserable. the only circumstances that i approve of this rain are when i am cozy inside with zero obligations.
but yesterday i suprised myself by putting on my rain boots, grabbing my umbrella and going for a walk. i then realized that there was nothing in the world i wanted to do except bake chocolate chip cookies. seems like such an obvious choice but i can't remember the last time i baked them. i followed the classic tollhouse recipe and ate one (or four) straight from the oven. i made sure to save half of the dough for tyler since it is his favorite part. these delicious little cookies also gave me the extra bit of motivation i needed to go to hot yoga. thank you cookies, i love you.

the tollhouse recipe makes the BEST chocolate chip cookies! those look like heaven!
Perfection! Such a good cure for a rainy day.
The tollhouse is my fave chocolate chip recipe and it's definitely the best cure all! Have a fabulous day! :) xxoo
If I made chocolate chip cookies everytime it rained here in Oregon, I would be HUGE! ha ha...all joking aside, those looked really yummy! :)
Yum! I made these this weekend too, in rainy Columbia.
I lived in downtown Charleston for 7 years (including 4 yrs at 68 1/2 Ashley & 3 months at 70 Rutledge, very very close to you), just found your blog, and am SO enjoying a peek back where I left my heart through your words and photos. Thanks!
Where do you go to yoga? Charleston Power Yoga?
I agree! A perfect way to spend a rainy day :)
what a great combination :)
Sounds like an amazing rainy day :) Now I'm craving home-made chocolate chip cookies, I can't remember the last time I had them! Hope you're having a great week so far :)
I always leave your blog so hungry! These look delicious : )
My bf just looked over and is now BEGGING me to make these for him, I might have to try..
how are you so cute? rainy days are secretly my favorite. yours makes me jealous.
oh looks delicious!
Yum yum!! Sounds like an amazing rainy day!
isn't that the best recipe? those are the best.
i baked last night too...but i tried these oatmeal cookies made from applesauce so they're fat free and vegan (since i'm not going to hot yoga)...and whoospy...rather bland. but i had added chocolate chips so that made everything okay! anyway i am in total agreement that the only time a full-on rainy day is acceptable is when you have nothing to do but cozy up and read a book under blankets by the window!
That is exactly what I like to do when it rains! Nothin better than a great chocolate chip cookie!!
i love the traditional tollhouse recipe! it just reminds me of baking with my grandmother!!
cookies look delicious as always!!
I love classics and chocolate chip cookies are the best!!! I have found that if I melt the butter before mixing it in that my cookies come out oh so fluffy. My favorite cookies are the kind with just one or two chocolate chips... I love love the cookie itself!! Your rainy day looks enticing being that you were baking. Hope all is lovely!! xo
chocolate chip cookies are my fav! I think it's going to rain this weekend so maybe I'll make some :)
you need to try this recipe!

I'm so excited about the cauliflower gratin! It's so nerdy, but I keep looking at the pictures you have of it on your blog until I get to go home and make it lol!
Ooooh, I love chocolate chip cookies. They are the best!!!!
mmm those look fantastic! i made peanut butter cookies yesterday, for much the same reason :) and i love walking in the rain! i hope you splashed in some puddles.
mmm that sounds like a truly fabulous day!
Yum. Of course. Again. Every time I take a trip over to your blog there is something to 'yum' about. Rain and cookies are perfect though. I love that you saved Tyler the cookiedough haha :) that's my favourite part too. xo
oh YUM
hey, it's supposed to snow here where I live... so, it may not be raindrops, but that's reason enough for me to make cookies very very soon :)
your cookies look delish! I love the new look of your blog, it's awesome!
ooo yum!!! :) i love chocolate cookies
i just love the rain.
*j.peri
{p.s your blog makes me hungry.}
That all sounds quite splendid.
i use toll house every time! and i'm pretty sure chocolate chips go with everything :)
yum - homemade cookies
What a great combination! The cookies look heavenly.
I have a love/hate relationship with all your food posts. They make me want to cook and bake so badly and im so insanely jealous of the yummy stuff you make. especially the delicious dinners. You're amazin!
Those cookies look delicious! I would love to eat one - or four - right now! Sounds like a perfect way to spend a rainy day. I also love those photos you too, you make the rain look beautiful! I think you're inspiring to do some baking this weekend!
good old charleston weather, huh? and now it's all wind! it's fun after the rain is over, because then the rain boots are still necessary but there are alllll the puddles (:
i've never actually had tollhouse cookies, but yours look amazing! will definitely be trying out that recipe soon!
I'm sure you've heard this many times before, but your photography is REALLY inspiring. You seriously have a gift. And while I'm not passionate about cooking, I'm passionate about photographers who make cooking look beautiful. Still loving your blog, lady!
