-Cookies, disappearing rapidly-
The recipe I picked was for Chewy Cocoa Cookies with Chocolate Chips since, me being me, I skipped straight to the "Cookies" section of her recipe index. She describes the cookies as being part of her repertoire, which suggested to me that they're probably 1) really yummy and 2) not too persnickety to prepare. Dear reader, I'm happy to report that both suppositions proved true.
I love chocolate chocolate chip cookies, and I love chewy cookies, and so I absolutely adore these cookies. I lost count of how many I ate in the first 24 hours after baking them. (Really, who needs to know that number, anyway?)
These have definitely joined my repertoire, too. (I don't think Molly would mind.) The great thing about the cookies, as she points out, is that they're made from easy-to-find ingredients, most of which are probably already in your pantry and fridge.
The one surprisingly difficult ingredient to locate was a small container of plain yogurt. The recipe calls for just one-third cup, but I could only find a 32-ounce carton. Guess I'll have to make several batches.

The lovely thing about your blog is that it's a window into other cultured, lovely blogs. Orangette is a great.
ReplyDeleteI'm neither a fan of chocolate nor of cookies, but you're right, these are easy ingredients to find, and one day I'll have to try this on a weekend and find a little humor in watching the kids bounce off the walls.
Yum! I want to try to bake them now, they sound delicious!
ReplyDeleteI've made these several times. They work with Greek yogurt as well (though they dry out faster). I love Orangette. Her recipe for Lemon Sables is definitely one of my go to recipes. You would love it.
ReplyDeleteEllen, I should have realized that as an accomplished baker/cook who lived in Seattle, you would know Orangette! Good to know about the Greek yogurt. Thank you also for the tip on Lemon Sables--just the name makes me want to try them.
ReplyDeleteGrace and Sachi, now you have two endorsements! Believe me, Ellen is a person to listen to when it comes to baking.
