The road to wildely delicious
When Janessa Wilde discovered Pinterest she was perplexed and excited by how many "world's best chocolate chip cookie" recipes there were - and started baking them...all of them. None of them seemed to deliver what they promised...
When she was dating her husband, Dan, she told him, "I want to be the Mom on the street with the best chocolate chip cookie".
After over a decade of researching, testing, comparing, studying, baking - Janessa can with all honesty present to you a Wildely Delicious Chocolate Chip Cookie.
The Answer is CHOCOLATE!
A central piece to the best chocolate chip cookie is in the name: chocolate. It's critical to have the right chocolate in the right quantity in the right place of the cookie.
Janessa is a bona fide lover of chocolate. To get a taste of her passion, watch this famous speech she gave in college as part of a public speaking showcase.
After watching, you'll be ready to taste, smell, breathe, and even go to battle for chocolate.
