Best Ever Four-Twenty Day Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

Best Recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookies

Well, it’s April 20, 2008. A day when individuals celebrate their independence and freedom of choice to participate in four-twenty day.

The term, originally derived from the title of 420 (a comic book series featuring the alternative superhero Captain Cannabis), has now become synonymous with “the national weed smoking day”.

And being 420 day, we couldn’t think of a better time or target market to try out our incredible chocolate chip cookie recipe.

Armed with a truck load of chocolate goodness — albeit a small truck — we headed to the nearest proliferation of independent youths to test our recipe.

And behold, the feedback was overwhelming positive!

An Impromptu Study

From our impromptu and totally non-scientific research, we found that every group of four-twenty day participates we tested resulted in giving our chocolate chip cookies a resounding two thumbs-up.

That’s right, 9 out of 10 responses voted our recipe as being the Best Chocolate Chip Cookies they had ever had.

We may have even been able to get a 10 out of 10 vote but it there always seemed to be one participant in every group who was too pre-occupied with a juicy Big Mac, a bag of BBQ Fritos, or simply fell asleep — or, at least, it appeared that way.

Overwhelming Response

To give you an example of how good our chocolate chip recipe is, here are some actual quotes.

Awesome!

My tongue is in Heaven, man.

Whatya mean I can only have one? Quit Bogarting the cookies.

Ahhh dude. These are amazing!

I love you man!
