Chocolate Chip Cookie

This one I find completely irresistible: a big golden cookie with chocolate chips scattered all over, and a little bite already taken out of the edge, like it just came out of the cookie jar. Work through the grid square by square: lay down the beige cookie base first, then sprinkle the brown chips in one at a time, without trying to line them up — that slightly messy scatter is exactly what sells the pattern. The little notch on the edge goes in last; it’s that one simple detail that turns a plain circle into an actual bitten cookie. Pop it under the iron, always between two sheets of parchment paper, and your bead cookie is ready to join a sweet-treat garland or sit quietly on the fridge, waiting to be admired.
