It is safe to say that I have consumed several pounds of raw flour via spoonfuls of raw cookie dough since I started living at home again. Although my insane late night baking sessions have curtailed since I started working night shifts, I still manage to sneak in a few recipes now and then. What can I say? I'm obsessed.
First there was the Strawberry Summer Cake via Smitten Kitchen: Strawberry Summer Cake
Then there was my attempt to mimic the ridiculously amazing shortbread cookies from Mary Macleod's which were far from a knockout but nonetheless good.
mmmm. Then I got a little crazy. To be more specific I started making cookies. Lots of cookies. First I made Thomas Keller's chocolate chip cookies. Which involved a lot of butter....and sugar...and more sugar.
Adding to the gluttony I bought this insane block of Callebaut chocolate. I didn't want to let it go to waste...so I made some more cookies...and started stuffing them. What I learned from this experience.
Chocolate chip cookies are good.
Oreos are good.
David Lebovitz's Absolute Best Brownie's are awesome.
But All of these thing are even better together.
