I’m not sure anything brings Halloween closer to us than ghosts. We see them everywhere. Hanging from our neighbor’s trees, flat cut outs taped to the inside of school windows. Sheets with eye- holes blowing from flag poles in yards along the block. Ghosts standing on sticks in someone’s garden. Suddenly, ghosts surround us, reminding us that we can’t be totally sure that the people we see and talk with every day are the only people who are creeping into our lives.

I haven’t gone trick-or-treating in at least two decades, but my affinity for all types of candy has never waned. As a kid, I would come back from trick-or-treating and dump out my pillowcase full of candy on the kitchen floor, digging through my treasures to pick out my favorites. I always rejoiced over the full-size peanut butter cups (naturally) and thought very carefully about how I would ration my candy-eating over the coming weeks.

I have always loved chocolate chip cookies, but most specifically, chewy chocolate chip cookies. As a teenager, I ate way, way more than my fair share of Soft Batch chocolate chip cookies. Once I began baking on my own, I turned my nose up at cookies that were flat and crisp, always leaning toward the thicker, chewier cookies. About four years ago, I was certain that I had found my chocolate chip cookie nirvana in the thick and chewy chocolate chip cookies.
