It’s time to talk about having some real deal cookies …
Spiced Chocolate Chunk Cookies!
Recently I was really wanting a cookie, a tasty, yummy, chocolatey cookie. I needed something that would say, “hey, I’m a good cookie – eat me” and as I was turning the pages of a seasonal magazine that I just had to have, I found these staring back at me.
[bctt tweet=”Try these Spiced Chocolate Chunk Cookies, worthy of milk dunking at any age. “]
So after reading through the recipe, my thoughts were, well why not, let’s try a batch. Obviously I made said batch and in no way did I tweak the recipe outside of using a mixture of white and really dark chocolate, and I used light instead of dark brown sugar … and more nuts, ’cause I can.
Outside of this recipe, my other absolute favorite recipe for a tasty cookie is the Cowboy Cookie (sadly, sans the real cowboy, nevertheless they are really yummy).
Now grab yourself a cold glass of milk and a plate of these gorgeous cookies and ENJOY!
