I’ve been meaning to post these for a few weeks now, but other activities have gotten in the way of me sitting down at the computer. I made these cookies both as a thank you gift and for Scott to share with a group of people that he was training. I’m glad that everyone liked them because I was a bit late picking up Scott from the metro the night that I made them. He was staying in town for dinner and that meant that I could read a book while I ate my dinner. I don’t remember exactly what I was reading since that was a few books ago, but let’s just say it was Skeletons on the Zahara: A True Story of Survival since I know that I read that book around the time I made these cookies and it is the kind of book that could get between me and baking since it is so captivating. Regardless, I started baking later than I intended and still had two trays of cookies to put in the oven when Scott called to say he was going into the station to catch the train. When it came to leave to get him, I had a difficult decision to make: pick him up on time and have two trays of half-baked cookies, or finish baking the cookies and pick him up late. This time, the cookies won. The good news is that I ended up being only 10 minutes late, and Scott was very understanding, especially once he tried one of the cookies. If you like dense chocolaty cookies, then these are for you!
