Sorry, these browned butter chocolate chip cookies are drugs-free, but you’ll still be asking for just one more.
KAREN: This one time, we were recording and in comes a dozen chocolate chip cookies delivered by some dude. I said, “We have enough cookies.” And the kid said, “Not this kind.” They were laced. I have no idea who sent them.

EDDIE: ‘Just One More’ was written and recorded in one day when somebody sent over a batch of grass baked into cookies. The whole song, written mostly by Billy with my help, seems like it’s about wanting to sleep with a girl one time before you hit the road. But it was about how we’d eaten all the grass and just wanted one more cookie.
A story about the rise of a fictional 1970s rock band sounded less than appealing, but there was so much hype around Daisy Jones & The Six that I had to give it a try. The first few chapters of the book completely grabbed me – the interview style, the tongue in cheek, dry humor, the complicated characters. A week after finishing it, I could not stop thinking about Daisy, Billy, and the rest of the band. Daisy especially stuck with me. She was bold and brave, vulnerable, reckless, sometimes frustrating, sometimes tragic.
“I had absolutely no interest in being somebody else’s muse. I am not a muse. I am the somebody.”

Added bonus–the show Daisy Jones & the Six on Amazon Prime was phenomenal. It’s one of the best adaptations I’ve ever seen.
To make the best chocolate chip cookies that you just can’t stop eating, I made Sarah Kieffer’s Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies. The recipe isn’t available on Sarah’s blog, but it is in her book 100 Cookies. I use this cookbook more than any other and almost every recipe is perfect. Grab yourself a copy!
If you don’t have Sarah’s book and are dying for some yummy chocolate chips, her Chocolate Chip Cookies 2.0 are also excellent.
