Disappointed to not be in school yet, Daphne requested we make a treat today while Hazel and Asher were gone; specifically chocolate, specifically cookies. This recipe came to mind. We didn't have the mint chips so we used normal semi-sweet and substituted the vanilla with mint extract. They were great!
She was so grateful we were making them she kept telling me, "thank you for making me chocolate cookies!" and then she'd kiss me. I like to think this is the origin of the chocolate kiss.
Polka Dot Cookies
2 c. (12 oz.) QUALITY semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
½ c. butter
1 ½ c. unsifted flour
½ tsp. baking soda
1/8 tsp. salt
3 eggs
½ c. sugar
2 tsp. vanilla (or mint)
1 ½ - 2 c. green mint chips (or semi-sweet)
In double boiler melt chocolate chips and butter, stirring constantly, until smooth. Set aside to cool. In large bowl beat eggs, sugar and vanilla (or mint). Add baking soda, salt and flour, mix; then add green mint (or other) chips, mixing thoroughly.
Cover and chill for 10-15 min. until stiff. Preheat oven to 350 F. Drop cookies onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 8 min. Cookies will be soft in centers but will set as they cool.
Sounds pretty intense. I wonder how these would be with peanut butter chips... Probably not as good as magic in the middles, but I'm guessing they'd get eaten quick enough.
ReplyDeleteThis recipe makes me inordinately happy! Daphne has great taste! Going to to be making these this weekend for sure.
