Three. Two. One. And... that's the bell! Grab your bookbag and start heading for the doors! It's time to leave the school day behind and get back to being a kid again! Nothing says "whew, glad that's over" like After-School Cookies! These aren't just any old chocolate chip cookies: the cookies themselves are richer in flavor with an embedded creamy vanilla taste and crunchy nuts to accent the buttery, brown sugar flavor. The chocolate is melty and ooey-gooey and, well, chocolatey! That puts a smile on everyone's face! Find your own sense of childhood again with After-School Cookies!
