Midwest Airlines' Chocolate Chip Cookie
There are some foods that are infinitely debatable in their perfection, like the hamburger, the martini, and the chocolate chip cookie.
My perfect chocolate chip cookie is crispy on the outside and gooey in the middle, with just the right amount of sweetness from the chips and a toasty molasses flavor from the brown sugar. But the most important—and elusive—requirement is fresh-from-the-oven meltiness. I rarely find a cookie that embodies more than one of these characteristics, let alone all of them. But then I flew Midwest Airlines. When I booked my ticket I thought I was just getting a cheap fare; who knew I would also find killer cookies a mile high? Luckily for me I had a connecting flight, which meant that I got not two but four warm, fresh-baked cookies. And yes, I ate them all.

These cookies are available as frozen dough balls from many supermarkets, so you are not required to fly in order to enjoy!
Produced by Best Maid Cookie Company in River Falls, WI.
32 to a box which has "Midwest Airlines" all over it, and they are
kosher dairy. Good luck finding them while still on the ground!
Ever since the big takover battle over last year Midwest is no linger technically our "hometown" airline and we in Milwaukee fear for the future of the cookies. But as long as they still fly... if you are REALLY lucky, the flight is not full and you ask nicely, there are some extra cookies left over. That's a really good flight!
