Who is Lola? I wonder the same thing. This cookie is named after an “entrant” for a cookie-naming contest at Flour Bakery & Cafe in Boston (from which the recipe was derived), although no one really knows who Lola is. They never found out. The winner claimed the prize of 2 dozen cookies and slipped off without sharing the story. They’re meant to be CHUNKY LOLA COOKIES but since I couldn't find non-industrial sized bittersweet chocolate bars in the hood, I had to contend with chips. So CHIPPY LOLA it is!
