Dessert First (With a Sandwich on the Side)

Every week we take a peek inside the lunches of the luckiest kids in Brooklyn. Read on, suppress your jealousy, and get a little brown bag inspiration. 

Most of the time, I focus my lunch efforts on the main event: the savory part of the meal. But there's nothing wrong with giving savory short shrift now and then in favor of most kids' favorite part: the sweet. This past weekend, we made Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies, a favorite recipe around the Food52 office. We mixed, we scooped, and we watched the mounds of dough collapse into puddles of cookie. And we made plenty for the week's lunches. On the side, I included a ham, avocado (squint, and you won't notice the bruises!), and cilantro sandwich on country bread.
