I have Smitten Kitchen, the trailblazer of food blogs, to thank for this amazing chocolate cookie recipe. This might even be my new favorite! I have found other amazing cookie recipes over the years, of course. A recent one that comes to mind is Momofuku’s compost cookie. The outrageous ingredients such as chips and pretzels make these cookies out of this world, though as much as my kids adore them, they require more effort and prep than I care to put in on a weekly basis. Smitten Kitchen’s recipe works perfectly for them as well and they can’t wait for me to make these again. Hope you enjoy them as much as we did!
