Dorie Greenspan... I love you! My waistline may eventually begin to dislike you, but me, I love you!This cookie is going down as my favorite cookie EVER! I don't know if I am going to share them. I may keep them all to myself. Selfish, I know. But they are so good!
This is definately a chocolate lovers dream cookie. Very rich and almost brownie-like. The recipe calls for 5 different types of chocolate, nuts, and raisins. The idea of raisins in this cookie didn't appeal to me, so I subbed an additional chocolate for the raisins. So, this cookie has cocoa powder, unsweetened chocolate, bittersweet chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate, milk chocolate, white chocolate, and toasted pecans. Oh.... my.... gosh! Amazing! I will make these again and again and again and again and again and... oh, you get the point!
Thank you Claudia of Fool for Food for choosing this superb recipe! Head over to her blog for the recipe and don't forget to check out the TWD blogroll to see what creative things these talented bakers did!
Great job on the cookies and happy belated birthday!
ReplyDeletethat made me laugh - subbed a different chocolate for the raisins. my kind of substitution! what else does chocolate need, besides more chocolate, anyway?! i love the idea of toasted pecans; since i always use pecans, i went ahead and stuck with dorie's salted peanuts for a change of pace, but i wish i'd stuck with pecans. that's a great photo -
ReplyDeleteNice picture with the cookie on the glass of milk! These were good cookies, weren't they? They got a lot of oohs and ahhs at our birthday party over the weekend. Happy belated Birthday!! Sounds like you had fun and all the food looks great! That chicken looks mouth-wateringly good!!
ReplyDeleteThose look like puddles of fudge! Yummy! I only have half a batch so I wouldn't eat too many of them!!
ReplyDeleteDid you post your birthday cake? Because PB and chocolate is my favorite combination!

ReplyDeleteGood job! I'm pleased you are a fan - I am also going to make them again but as they are pretty pricey I think only over a Holiday season.
