Ranking #1 in nearly every "favorite cookie" poll, the chocolate chip cookie is pretty much the go-to cookie of choice for both kids and grownups alike.

A classic hummus recipe with some tasty flavor options such as red curry paste, masala, or cumin. Serve with your favorite dippers.

1 can chick peas (garbanzo beans), drained
2 tablespoons sesame tahini
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped or minced (or to taste)
3 tablespoons olive oil (as needed)
salt, to taste
OPTIONAL
1 tablespoon red curry paste (or to taste)
1 tablespoon masala (or to taste)
1 teaspoon cumin (or to taste)
For Dipping
cut celery, carrots, or flatbread
Pour the drained chickpeas into a blender or food processor and add the rest of the ingredients. Blend or process until smooth.
Some chickpea brands are "drier" than others (that is, cooked less and therefore the peas are crunchier). Just add more olive oil if you cannot get the dip smooth. I like to add a tablespoon of red curry paste (my secret ingredient) to give my hummus a kick, but again, the amount depends on the hotness of the paste, which differs by brand.

This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

Instead of using more oil and upping the calorie count use some of the water from the canned beans. Also I've found that if you remove the skins of the beans you'll get smoother hummus.
