Chocoholic's Sunday

I once asked a friend, if you had to choose, would you rather give up coffee or chocolate?

To this day, she still hasn't come up with an answer.

Neither have I.

The cookies above were inspired by an Epicurious recipe for Mint Chocolate Cookies. "Inspired" because I don't happen to have any sort of mint flavoring in my cupboard, so used vanilla instead. The cookies came out dark, chewy and oh-so-rich. The dough was sticky though - maybe it's time to get an electric mixer.
