Soft Chocolate Cookies Before Bedtime?

2/9/2012

 
Picture
Little Boy Blue needs to wait a few months to eat these Soft Chocolate Cookies.


Hey Cool, Young, Hip Grandma,

Can I have a cookie before I go to sleep? The warm formula in my bottle will help wash down all those cookie crumbs.


What??

3 1/2 months is too young to eat cookies??? For reals Grandma??

Well, what about the cookie dough then?
Care to share that with a yittle growing baby boy?

Nice try Little Boy Blue...maybe in a couple months we can discuss the cookie dough thing.
Until that time, can you believe how good these cookies are?
Picture
See how soft they are?
Picture
Mmmmmmm!
Not kidding.

These cookies are mildly chocolately, not overpowering at all and very soft.

I love these Soft Chocolate Cookies!

They say, "Eat me, I'm soft. With just a hint of chocolate. That means you can eat twice as much. Trust me, I'm a cookie, would I lie to you?"
Hehehehe.

So I was looking for a cookie recipe where I had all the ingredients in my pantry.

I found this online at allrecipes.com and it had like five hundred thousand excellent reviews, so I blindly tried it.
Here's the fixins for these soft yummy cookies.


And the recipe is embedded below to print off.
By the way, this cookie recipe is unbelievable easy!!!

I am no baker by any stretch of the imagination (I dislike baking in fact), yet I was able to throw this recipe together exceedingly easy!

Dust warm cookies with confectioners' sugar.

Hey, what's fun though is it that I can show pictures of my baking skilz.

I've noticed on other baking websites, the baking pictures always look so purty!

Like look at this picture of the butter and sugar...purty I tell ya!


Picture


Well, mix that butter and sugar up.

Mix it, mix it and lick it but don't let other people see you do that cause they will think it's gross you licking the butter and sugar off the beater. 

Too bad, so sad :(



Add the eggs and beat...whirrrrr, whiiirrrr, whiirrrrr, whiiirrrr, clunk, Don't ask.
Picture


See,
didn't I tell ya these pictures are so buttery pretty!

Squirt some of that vanilla in there and stir more.

Picture



Now let's continue on with the dry ingredients...the flour...boring!


Yawn.

Add cocoa and mix together...Now...so not boring!
Oh add the baking soda and salt too.
Picture



Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, a little at a time, with a mixer.



Geez, I have to do EVERYTHING around here.

Picture


No need to refrigerate like the directions say.

No Siree.
Just roll into 1 inch balls with two spoons and plop down onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.

Use parchment paper!! Less burning and cleanup!


Cook for 10 minutes only (they will look undone), take them out but LEAVE THEM ALONE!!!
DO NOT take them off the cookie sheet at this time,
they will fall apart.
Picture
 Do not try to pick a cookie up, it will fall apart.
Do not eat these warm,
they will fall apart.

Let cookies set 15 minutes until they are fully cooled.

If you don't , they will fall apart.

Be mature about this and let them be...no picking at them, don't do it! I did and all I got was crumbly messes. (Notice that was plural?) (I picked more than once, each time, they crumbled apart....all four times in fact. *sigh*)



Listen to John, Paul, Ringo and George and LET IT BE! For Pete's sake!
