As told to Luc Rinaldi
Chelsea: I’ve been working as an events coordinator for years, and right before the pandemic hit, I got an internship with Love by Lynzie, an events company I had always dreamed of working with. After six weeks on the job, everything shut down. A couple of days into quarantine, I was at home with my roommate and best friend, Ian. He wanted a midnight snack, so he got off the couch and told me he was going to bake the best cookie anyone’s ever eaten.
Ian: At the time, everybody was working on their sourdough. I decided to try my family’s chocolate chip cookie recipe instead. I don’t have a background in baking, but I have a good palate; I’ve worked in bars and restaurants for more than a decade. So I gave it a try.
