Close your eyes. Unless you're driving, then keep them open.

Also, unless you're an adult, you shouldn't be driving.

Anyway, everyone else, close your eyes and pay attention as we go on a journey into deliciousness.

You head towards the kitchen, when? What's that you hear? Sounds like the timer for the stove going off.

OMG. There they are in plain sight. An entire tray of chocolate chip cookies still bubbling.

Perfection. Okay, take a second to wipe the drool from the corner of your mouth.

I mean, seriously, I bet you could practically smell and taste chocolate chip cookies.

So much so, you want some right now. Don't you? So, how are you able to go on this sensory cookie adventure
