by Brittany Bennett

With all the national holidays dedicated to beloved foods, you could feel like the calendar is a little oversaturated. But May 15 is National Chocolate Chip Day and it feels a lot like Christmas. To celebrate the occasion, you can find out how to get free chocolate chip cookies and other deals for National Chocolate Chip Day. Because sometimes the world is a beautiful place where dessert is celebrated and chocolate chip cookies — the usual vessel for these celebrated chocolate clips — are free.

There's so much to love about the sugary treat. For starters, recipes are varied and versatile to accommodate unique preferences. Your bite can be chewy or crispy. Your chocolate chips can be chunks. You can have salted butter, unsalted butter or browned butter for a nuttier essence. However you prefer to bite into the sugary delight, your heart will be warmed and your cravings will be satiated. If you had a hard day, relaxing back into your favorite chair with a sleeve of chocolate chip cookies on your lap can quickly escalate your mood.

Not to be dramatic or anything, but, because chocolate chips are the beacon of light in our world, we have been gifted a day to collect them for free, or at least at a reduced price, from some participating companies who understand the joy the simple yet complex treat delivers to our daily lives.
