Confession: I am obsessed with sweets. Ice cream. Candy. Brownies. cookies. You name it, I will most likely eat it. So beware a lot of these Scrumptious Wednesday posts will probably include something sweet! One of my favorite things in the world is a good chocolate chip cookie. I have shared my favorite recipe before, which includes pudding... BUT, this recipe surpasses it. yup. That is right.

 All thanks to one very special ingredient.
