Congratulations on the 1,000 subscribers, Jolene! That’s so exciting and I’m so happy for you!!

Joy is great; hers is one of the first baking blogs I ever discovered! Chocolate chip cookies remind me of baking with my mom as a child and they’re one of my favorite comfort bakes, so I’m definitely going to try out Joy’s recipe. Thanks for sharing it! 🍪

Mmmmmm, brown butter cookies! Believe it or not, I’ve never made them. Now I will! Thanks for the great intro to Joy the Baker and congrats on this new milestone of 1,000 subscribers! We love avocado in CA. Looking forward to your take.

Joy had me at " Brown butter" and "former Angeleno" (my words... That's my California secret handshake .😂) Love brown butter! The French kept it a secret for too long. Now I wonder if the cat got out of the bag thanks to New Orleans.... Oh, and well done on your first thousand!

So much love for Joy and her cookies - when we were both living in Los Angeles she baked me a batch to snack on through my exams and they were hands down one of the best cookies I’ve ever had.

Also: congrats on the massive milestone 🎉
