My dad has an intense sweet tooth, just like me. One afternoon when I was around 10 years old, Dad got a hankering and he enlisted me to help him make Toll House chocolate chip cookies. That was the first time he and I had ever baked together. Since then, whenever I make chocolate chip cookies, including the ones from this recipe, I think of him and that special afternoon we spent together in the kitchen. I developed this recipe over the years.

On one of their first dates, Chip and Jo went to a restaurant that was known for its creamy chicken poblano soup. It quickly became a favorite, and Jo decided to recreate her own version for her latest cookbook.
