Chocolate Chip Cookies (album)

Chocolate Chip Cookies is an album by Canadian folk rock band Leslie Spit Treeo, released in 1996. It is subtitled "A Rock & Roll Adventure".

The band intended to make "the mother of all concept albums." It contains a cover of Bob Snider's "Ancient Eyes". The band promoted the album by embarking on a full tour of Canada.

Release
A double album, Chocolate Chip Cookies was originally released in a unique paper bag package similar to a cookie bag, with labelling that resembled the design of a Chips Ahoy! bag. Several weeks after the album's release, Nabisco threatened the band with a copyright infringement lawsuit, and in response, the band recalled all unsold copies of the album, held a bonfire in Toronto's High Park to burn the cookie bag packages, and rereleased the album in a conventional jewel case.

Critical reception
The Times Colonist stated: "Those seeking Mellon Collie-type angst in their sprawling, double disc epics will take solace in 'Average Joes rallying chorus cry of 'Life sucks!' and ballad 'Book of Rejections assertion that 'self- esteem may be over-rated/You're going nowhere without some hatred'."

AllMusic wrote that "the whole, interspersed with Chipmunks-speed spoken-word snippets that more or less advance (or confuse) the narrative, is worthy of Frank Zappa's wry genius in its combination of self-mockery and pinpoint satire."
