This is a pictorial reason why we don’t buy our cats toys very often. Julie splurged on a toy we affectionately call a “smacky”. It’s a weird toy that has a hole in it you fill with catnip by jamming that catnip plastic cylinder into it. Nothing morbid about that…

Here is what happened:

Norm: Oooh! New toy, fun!

10 seconds later: Toy scary! Run away!

Storm: Hmm… New toy

10 seconds later: Loss of all interest

Next 12 hours: Pure sack of lazy

Ah the joys of having a cat….

This is it.  Other ones may have fancy additions like toasted hazelnuts or froo-froo berries, but for a good, ol’ chocolate-y chocolate chip cookie, Alton Brown’s got it covered.  The only tiny thing I add is a sprinkling of kosher salt right on top of the cookie before baking.  Salty, sweet, milk chocolate buttons, and tons of yummy.
