Yet another long-bookmarked recipe struck off the list. I’ve always been a fan of aesthetics, so it was no surprise that these cookies got me at ‘marble‘. Apparently the huge cookie I made for the mister did more than satisfy him; it left him wanting more. The usual “What shall I bake today?” garnered a typical resounding “Mooties!” from him, and I thought what better time to try out these cookies.
The cookies were crispy on the edges, but soft and chewy towards the middle, which makes them perfect for the soft cookie-loving yours truly. My only gripe was that I did not have chocolate chips at hand, for even though these cookies were chocolatey (the cocoa dough was hard to resist!), I believe they would have been absolute heaven with large semi-sweet chocolate chips or chocolate chunks. So I ended up with shavings off a chocolate couverture block. But then again, don’t take it from the chocoholic, since the mother just ‘complained’ of [most of] my bakes being too chocolatey, while the mister insisted on two separate occasions that these cookies tasted just like Chipsmore cookies, which I interpreted to mean overdosed with chocolate chips.
