Short post today. I'm enjoying the Clinton Foundation Concert on Yahoo! and it's pretty darn amazing, so that's keeping me occupied.
Last week for the hospital shift, I was trying to figure out what I could make that wouldn't take too much time, but would be worthy of giving to a staff of awesome nurses and physicians who help me so much during my shift.
I landed upon a recipe from Smitten Kitchen (of course my go-to-guide).....
Chocolate chip cookies. Of course! Simple, yet decadent. Traditional, yet classic and elegant at the same time.
The recipe from Smitten kitchen did not disappoint! It was absolutely amazing and I made a few small changes. These warm cookies were crunchy on the outside, but soft and chewy inside and the chocolate chips were melting.
1. I cut the white sugar out entirely and used 1/2 a cup of brown sugar only.
2. I made mini cookies :D - because then I can eat a bunch and pretend that I didn't gain so many calories since they were mini.
3. Also by making them mini, I get more cookies for the same batter, so more people can try it.
4. I added a 1/4 tsp of instant coffee to increase the chocolatey flavor (if that's a word).
All in all, I give this recipe two thumbs up!
I'll be back this week with a recipe for what I consider the Queen of cakes - so get ready!
