When I found out Elvis was coming into town, I wanted to make those cookies for him. Then I thought about it and realized that I didn't want to do the work for them in someone else's kitchen. My mom doesn't bake and thus, lack many of the same utensils and equipment that I generally have available in my kitchen.
I looked online and found this Chocolate Chocolate Chip cookies recipe. Seemed much more manageable to do in someone else's kitchen and it's pretty straight-forward.
I think I made these cookies four times in less than a week. Between my pregnant sister-in-law, my brothers, and random people, these cookies did not stick around too long. What I like about this recipe is it's a sturdy enough cookie that it can take all kinds of goodies instead of just plain chocolate chips.
This time, I used peppermint bark that Jo had made and given me when she and JP came to visit me.
Side note: I had the write-up above written out from when I first drafted this but didn't post it because I couldn't figure out what I did with the pictures I took. I was going through my old phone's memory card and found them. I apologize for the poor quality, but my camera battery was totally dead and this was my only option.
