It has been ages, or maybe 3 months, since I've taken part in the Food for Thought Cooking Club. I missed out on some good recipes, but when I saw that this month was cookies I knew that nothing could stop me from some time in the kitchen.
The cookies we were to make are from the show Sugar hosted by Anna Olson. I've never watched her show - I don't bake much - but she's got a couple of shows, books, and a bakery so you know that her recipes are gonna be good. Chocolate Cookies a la Anna Olson is different than other cookie recipes I have tried - the cookies have cornstarch in the recipe to make the cookies soft and chewy. I don't know about you, but I prefer chewy chocolate chip cookies to crisp ones myself.
These are some delicious cookies. They were fast to make, and I love that the recipe uses chocolate cut into chunks instead of chocolate chips - there were some little pieces of chocolate and lots of big pieces, which of course are the best. I liked the taste of the bittersweet chocolate in the cookie - I've always used milk chocolate but I think I'm going to make a change to bittersweet for future cookie recipes. .All 3 of my testers thought they were great - and how could they not?
Get in the kitchen and give these a try - I bet you'll love them. If you want to take part in this month's cooking club, email your post to Catherine by October 31.

I've made 3 batches of these cookies, they're a big hit!
No calories, only sweetness.
I've been looking to try something other than my tried and true recipe. Maybe this will be it. I'm really loving the bittersweet chocolate more and more.
I liked these too. I also finally got back of my butt and made them.) But I kinda thought they had a bit of a store bought flavour to them, not sure quite what it was.
Whole cookies don't have calories either...or at least that is what I tell myself...I don't think my jean size agrees :)
Brilynn - I read your cookie hijinks - the cappuccino ones sound delicous.
Tanna - bittersweet is the way to go.
Katerina - Hmmmm...
Peabody - After how many of these I ate, I will agree that no cookie has calories.
