One time while driving back from the North Rim, I couldn't resist stopping at Jacob Lake Inn for their famous homemade cookies and a milkshake. The warm afternoon air and the scent of ponderosa pines added to the experience.
As I walked into the rustic inn, the familiar jingle of the doorbell greeted me. Looking at all the Cookie options, I just had to try the new S'More cookie I'd heard so much about.
Soon, I was enjoying a rich blackberry milkshake and a a delightful S' More cookie. The highlight was the delicious twist on the classic s'more with gooey marshmallow and chocolate mixed with cookie.
Each bite was a nostalgic journey, filling me with contentment. With my craving satisfied, I continued my journey back to Page, Arizona now sweetened by the taste of an Arizona tradition.
