Perfect Cookies

You hear the pitter patter rain makes when the drops meet a glass surface.  It’s a chilly night.  You look outside; however, all you see due to the absence of light outside, and abundance of light inside, is a reflection of you and almost the entire cafe that’s sheltering you.  You see your warm-hot beverage on a small, square table in front of you.  You also notice that you are still wrapped in your winter attire and begin to feel a little hot.  You take off a layer of clothing to make yourself comfortable.
The sound of a ding followed by your name grabs your attention.  You get out of your seat to approach the cafe counter and find two small plates waiting for you.  On each plate is a large chocolate chip cookie.  After taking a moment to inhale the pleasant aroma, you pick up the two plates, one in each hand, and take them to the table where you had been sitting.  
Both plates make that familiar sound as you set them down at the same time.  You take your seat and gander at the irresistible treats in front of you.  You ordered two chocolate chip cookies.  One is hard with large chocolate chunks and the other is soft and gooey.  
Your eyes rapidly switch focus between the two cookies before they finally settle on the soft cookie.  You lift it with your thumb, pointer and middle finger just over the plate.  The cookie doesn’t tear.  With a light wave, the cookie tears in half, landing back onto the plate.  It passes your inspection of being just the right level of gooeyness.
You set the half cookie down and proceed to snap half the hard cookie off the plate. You dunk the half in your warm drink and stir it for a few seconds and then emerge it out.  The half-cookie remains intact as you let it drip.  You then lean forward and take a massive bite of the soaked bit.  You lean back in your chair, chew, swallow, inhale, and exhale.  You turn towards the window and see your face looking at you with a smile of pure bliss
