And today, Psaki delivered on that promise:
Jen Psaki announces as she's leaving press briefing that her mother-in-law provided homemade chocolate chip cookies for everyone. "Thank you!!!!" the journalists shouted in unison. (How refreshing)

And imagine all the “how many reporters will this kill from Covid” takes if a Trump spox walked around the room handing out cookies.
"Thank you! Awwwww!" embarrassing
