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.

2 bunches scallions
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cup couscous
Trim roots from scallions. Finely chop 1 bunch of scallions, both white and green parts. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a medium pot with a cover, and add chopped scallions. Cook over medium heat until scallions are soft and translucent. Do not let them brown.
Add couscous and stir over medium heat for 1 minute. Add 3 cups boiling water and stir over low heat for 3 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 5 minutes, until water is absorbed.
Meanwhile, melt remaining butter in a small saucepan. Lightly brush remaining bunch of scallions with butter.
Heat a cast-iron grill pan until very hot. Add scallions and cook, turning several times, until they begin to soften and grill marks are emblazoned on the greens. This will take several minutes.
Remove cover from couscous mixture. Fluff with a fork, and add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Place on a warm platter, or pack into timbales and turn out on individual plates. Top with grilled scallions.

It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

We would have preferred cooking the chopped scallions in salted butter (rather than the unsalted) for more flavor. The couscous was very light and fluffy and the cooking times seemed about right. The grilled scallions were a nice touch presentation-wise. If you don't have a grill pan you could most certainly cook the whole scallions on a regular grill.
