TWD: World Peace Cookies

The black tie of cookies. Not too sweet. Handsome, but not too pretty. Deep, rich chocolate- the finest chocolate- cut into chunky morsels. And then the catch: tiny grains of sea salt to tickle, tease, and elude your palate.

The texture is buttery without being crumbly, moist but not gooey, crisp but not crunchy. The scent is divine.

This week's Tuesday's with Dorrie challenge, where cooks from around the globe bake recipes from Dorrie Greenspan's book "Baking, from my Home to Yours," was a success. See other successes here.

The one thing I didn't post... the cookies before I cut them. See, um, you roll the chunky chocolate dough into a log, then chill it, then cut it. And, well, there was no way I could make that log o' chocolate look appetizing.

In fact, I have another log waiting in my fridge, ready for baking, and it kind of repulses me. Um.

The black tie of cookies...you summed it up! They look wonderful. I couldn't bring myself to post a "log" picture either...

Don't look at the log -- just slice and bake. The taste makes it all worthwhile!

I have a feeling these cookies inspire more conflict over who gets the last one than they do World Peace :-)

As a lucky person who got to eat one of these exceptional morsels, I heartily agree with all of Libby's enthusiastic descriptors. Sadly, there was not a second cookie.

While I did make the white out cake, I didn't get to make these. Guess I will have to try them one of these days! I'm stopping by everyone on my blogroll to let them know that I've started a new blog event called Thrifty Thursdays if you are interested in blogging along! http://amandascookin.blogspot.com/2009/02/gauging-interest-thrifty-thursday.html :)
