Get the cookie.

When faced with a choice to get the cookie or not get the cookie, I highly recommend getting the cookie. Mercy Hospital does many things really, really well. One of the things it does amazingly well is Warm Cookie Wednesday, a magical baked Brigadoon experience when warm chocolate chip cookies the size of your hand appear in the cafeteria. They’re only there for a brief moment, and when they’re gone – they’re gone.

Get the cookie. Don’t be afraid to schedule your afternoon around the cookie: trust me, it’s worth it. Pace yourself, it’s a BIG cookie. If you have a pre-existing medical condition, maybe rethink the cookie – otherwise, get it.

Oh, and grab some milk while you’re at it. It goes REALLY, really well with that cookie in your hand.
