When I was in school, there was this one boy in my class who made the best chocolate chip cookies. He brought them to every class celebration and they were so famous we named them after him.

For years the recipe has been a secret, but just before we graduated he passed it on to a select few.

You will understand that I can’t just go ahead and tell you the secret recipe. But decipher the encrypted version and you will have proven yourself worthy of the best cookie you will ever have.
