Red wine is not the only thing that improves with age. It's hard to believe that a chocolate chip cookie gets better and better with time. If you think about it, the flour and fat are absorbing the flavors, the gluten in the flour is relaxing, and all of these small details add up to creating an aged chocolate chip cookie that is complex and, simply put, delicious.
