Making Cookies

Saturday night the girls and I were bored, so we decided to make some cookies. A friend at work gave me a new recipe to try called Soft and Chewy Chocolate Drops. They are seriously the best darn cookies I have ever had. The recipe is posted below. If you are a chocolate lover like me, you will LOVE them! They are super easy to make.

Not to mention the best part of licking the spoons. Definitely my favorite part of making cookies.

Chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate. What more could a cookie ask for.

And here is the finished product. The best part is that they are so rich that you only need to eat 1 or 2 (okay maybe 3 or 4) to get your chocolate buzz!

Here is the recipe for all those who want to whip these up.

Cookie:

4 squares Baker's Unsweetened Baking Chocolate

3/4 cup real butter

2 cups sugar

3 eggs

1 tsp. vanilla

2 1/2 cups flour

Microwave unsweetened chocolate and butter in a large microwaveable bowl on high 2 minutes or until butter is melted, stirring every 30 seconds. Stir until chocolate is completely melted. Add sugar, mix well. Blend in eggs and vanilla. Add flour, mix well. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour or until dough is easy to handle. Shape dough into 1 inch balls; place 2 inches apart on greasted baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 minutes, or just until set. (Do not overbake.) Let stand on baking sheet 1 minute, transfer to wire racks. Cool completely before frosting.

Glaze:

1 8 oz. tub frozen Cool Whip

6 squares Baker's Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate

Place frozen whipped topping and semi-sweet chocolate in microwaveable bowl. Microwave on high 1 1/2 minutes or until chocolate is melted and mixture is shiney and smooth, stirring every 30 seconds. (It acutally took 2 minutes and then I just stirred and stirred until I got the smooth shiney consistency and all the chocolate was melted.) Let stand 15 minutes to thicken. Spread over cookies. Let stand until glaze is set
