Here’s a great brownie recipe from Ghirardelli. This is on the back of their Sweet Ground Chocolate and Cocoa Powder can. Use it for brownies, or use it for hot cocoa. It has a nice and kind of delicate chocolate flavor. I took these brownies to a party and everyone loved them. No one said [...]

Hooray! A cookie I can share with friends, rather than the trash can. These are great. They’re thin, but chewy and slightly crisp around the edges. The wheat germ adds some chewiness and nuttiness, but the cookies don’t taste like health food. Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies with Wheat Germ and Pecans 1 1/2 cups all [...]

I wasn’t feeling very creative today, so I just searched allrecipes.com for a chocolate cookie with a bunch of stars. For the cocoa, I used Hershey’s Dark, which is why these are so very black.

The kitchen is not functioning and I can’t bake. Luckily, I like store bought packaged cookies. No matter what those copy cat recipes say, you can’t duplicate packaged cookies, especially the sandwich kind, in a home kitchen. Only loving robotic arms, belts, pulleys, conveyer belts and crème shooters can make the perfect Oreo. And I’m [...]
