Winter finally arrived. Its been snowing All. Day. Long. JiT decided to work from home. Lilly has a cold (don’t even get me started on that). Since none of us are going anywhere, the white out weather doesn’t bother me one bit.
Since outside looks like this:
I felt strongly that inside should have a whole lot of this:
JiT is usually our chocolate cookie maker because his recipe is amazing but also seriously rich. Since he has work to do, I figured I’d try a new recipe. This version uses three different kinds of sugar, dark chocolate and SALT on the top. I’m not a huge fan of super duper chocolatey chocolate chip cookies and the little hits of salt on the top balance out the chocolate really well in this recipe. The consistency is nice too. The cookies have a nice heft to them and amazing crisp edges but the insides are still slightly chewy. I also added walnuts which I think was a very, very good decision.
I’m hoping these last through the afternoon because I’m really looking forward to curling up with one of these and a cup of cocoa tonight to watch the snow fall.
