Chocolate Chip Cookies

As blogged on: blog | joricel

 

The bakery team really has that special touch when it comes to treats. These are some gigantic cookies which have a great crisp to the outside and remain nice and chewy on the inside. The only problem with cookies of this size is that you can't dunk it whole in a glass of milk. But I've heard the team has solved this issue already.

 

For the shot I just wanted to capture the innocence of what chocolate cookies still mean to me. Before the days of falling real estate prices, government bailout and everything else going around all you really needed was a nice warm plate of cookies and some milk and after you were done all was right again with the world.

 

In order to try to pick up the texture of the cookies and to give a bit of shadow I placed my umbrella at a 90 deg angle camera right pointed right at the cookies.

 

After the shot my daughter and I poured a glass of milk and started eating it to which my daughter proclaimed, "These are the best cookies evar!"
