Ryan Seacrestbrought a very special guest onto his daytime show this week.

In honor of National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day, the co-hosts taste-tested chewy and crunchy cookies to decide which was better. Flora assisted the co-hosts in the deliberations, eventually declaring chewy as the winner.

“Flora, you know what we should do? Eat all those cookies and then hang out with Mommy,” Seacrest joked. “A little sugar rush.”

“I start thinking about blocking off certain times in my month or year or week to focus on my personal life,” he said. “I do want to have kids. But I haven’t even gone down that path, which is nuts at my age. I think in the last year, it’s become clear to me that yes, I do want to do that…. I want to be available and present.”
