“Friend is someone to share the last cookie with.” -Cookie Monster
So, Friday is National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day. And how better to celebrate than to share our favorite recipe with all of our young friends? This is actually an adaptation of an old Cooking Light recipe. Yes, we un-lightened it. Is that even a word? The key for us is in the chocolate. This is a recipe that really highlights the dark chocolate so use the best you can get your hands on. Chocolate chips will certainly work, but for us the ultimate cookie uses simple dark chocolate from our favorite local chocolate maker, and this year our friends gave us a great deal on a few extra dark chocolate bunnies leftover from Easter. That’s right, bunny ears in cookies. Add a little toasted coconut and it just can’t be beat. If someone gives you the last cookie from this recipe, you really do have a friend! These will be in our Flour Baskets this weekend, and we’ll also be sharing several batches with our young friends at the drop in center Friday afternoon. Of course, all of this will follow a great chocolate chip cookie baking class in honor of the holiday! As always, thanks to our many supporters who make these classes possible.
