TWD: World Peace Cookies


This week's Tuesdays with Dorie was chosen by Jessica at Cookbookhabit. You can find the recipe on her blog.

I haven't made up my mind on these cookies. I want to like them...I mean, who doesn't wish for world peace? And, once I am eating one, I am glad I did. But, I have to force myself to eat one. I'm not exactly running home after work to pop one in my mouth. Or telling myself if I work out 10 min. longer, I can have two. So, my suggestion is to check out Cookbookhabit, get the recipe, and make them for yourself. On the upside, Jeff seems to like them.

These were slice and bake cookies. The first time I have ever made this kind. From looking at other blogs, some people had problems w/ the dough being crumbly. Mine turned out fine, really. I made half of the recipe and got one log (about 15 or so cookies). The twist in these is an increased amount of salt. I used course sea salt (ground up) and didn't really notice any difference in the cookies. Overall, they are a chocolately, crispy cookie that goes great with a tall glass of milk.

  2. Your cookies look great! I am on the opposite extreme. I loved these but couldn't eat to many because they were so rich.

  3. Yeah, I agree with your assessment. Good, but not great.
