Single Girl Seeks Adventure...: An Abundance of Cookies

For anyone that read yesterday's post, you know that I mentioned these cookies. Well I decided to make them this morning and I'm so happy I did so you get to hear about them. For the first time in a LONG time, I baked something and it didn't turn out disastrously. I usually start with such high hopes, only to be beaten down by strange ingredients and fussy ovens. This particular recipe was super easy to follow. The worst part was the teeny-tiny bits of dough you needed to roll into balls. I was skeptical that they needed to be that small, but after seeing them spread, I'm quite happy I followed the directions.

The cookies are meant to be eaten as sandwiches with chocolate between them, but I couldn't resist tasting them before the chocolate. After all a true chef tastes all parts of their dish, right? I had high hopes that they would taste like Lace Cookies my grandmother used to make. Unfortunately, not so much. Good consistency, not much flavor. They were so much better once I added the chocolate. After all, aren't most things?

I'd recommend this recipe to anyone who loves Pepperidge Farm Brussels cookies or anyone who loves chocolate. They are the perfect snack to have with a cup of tea!
