Started the day with an
exciting basketball game, which helped segue into a strong day of baking. Chocolate Crackle cookies have been on my
list from the beginning and after looking at plenty of recipes, I found this
one today. The name alone was worth the
effort, but when I read the recipe and saw coffee, I knew I’d score some big
points with my cooking partner!
This was one of the few
cookie recipes around with no butter, but the melted chocolate more that makes
up for it and helped produce a cookie that is bursting with chocolate
flavor. I mixed in some dark chocolate,
just because we have it and I think it’s a bit healthier. The powdered sugar also leads to a very
picturesque product.
This is definitely one of
the new recipes that we’ll be making again.
Beth had her favorite
feature ingredient on Thursday with Jalapeno and today was the one I’d been
looking forward to, Bacon.
It’s obviously a trendy
ingredient and we’ve used it in waffles, scones and brownies, but never
cookies. This recipe takes a simple
chocolate chip recipe and goes to another level with not just bacon, but brown
sugar candied bacon.
We decided to try these as a
family and we all took that first bite and enjoyed a party in out mouths. Pure Cookie Joy! All I can say is go now and make this recipe.
The Young’s swim taxi got
another sample today. After entertaining Haley for most of the day, the Anglins got a well-deserved plate of Joy! Also shared the
joy at the SPCC Christmas Party, which led to many fun discussions, which is
really why we’re doing this. Go bake something
fun and share it with others, I think it will be worth the effort.
Today will be hard to match,
but we’re up for the challenge. Hope
to see you tomorrow.
Loved reading the article in the paper and checking out your fun blog. The Bacon family is ALL about baking cookies and we are VERY excited to try this candied bacon recipe, for obvious reasons. Cheers to your family for all the good cheer this project spreads. Happy new year!
