Episode description
Among the most popular baked goods is the classic chocolate chip cookie. One of the things that makes it so special is how beautifully it lends itself to adaptation. Journalist, baker and podcast host Marissa Rothkopf Bates shares insights from her cookbook, The Secret Life of Chocolate Chip Cookies. She'll discuss the cookie's often misunderstood history, how to bake the type of chocolate chip cookie you want, and how she mixes politics with baking in her podcast.
