That was the question my husband asked me after I got home from work and after the Bills lost by 5 in London and both lineback Matt Milano and defensive lineman Da’Quan Jones left with injuries. And they could both be out a while. Rob’s answer to all this was “chocolate chip cookies.” As soon as he said cookies, Gracie ran in and sat at my feet, like the good pup she is, as if to say “yes, mama, cookies make everything better. I do not agree, but I did make cookies. And yes,chocolate chip ones. Honestly, I am still mad about the loss, but someone will enjoy these damn cookies.

Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount. Freeze the dough for an hour or chill for a few hours to prevent spreading. And preheat your oven to 375 degrees for 20 minutes before baking so the oven cycles to the right temp.
