Day 5: Soft Andes Mint Chocolate Chunk Cookies.

softandes-4

These cookies have the word “soft” in the title for a reason. That’s exactly what they are! The chocolate flavor is quite subtle, as is the mint.

If I were to make them again, I’d increase the amount of cocoa powder and use dark cocoa powder instead of regular. That would enhance the mint chips.

I’d also put in some mint extract just for kicks. softandes-7

Don’t they look tasty?

Day 4: Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

Day 4: Double Chocolate Chip Cookies, because one chocolate is never good enough. It’s truly Christmas over at my house.. the Christmas tree is lit, I’m bundled up in blankets, and “Love Actually” is playing on my T.V. Oh, I’m such a sucker for this movie. The people, the love stories, the scandalousness, the heartbreaks… I can’t handle it. I’ve seen it at least twenty times and it’s still good.

A plate of cookies and a tall glass of milk are the perfect addition to Christmas movie watching. I ate a cookie the size of my face yesterday and couldn’t have been happier. Cookies can do that to you, you know. Calories don’t count in December (or the end of November).

I admit that I cheated a bit on these cookies because I used the recipe from my favorite chocolate chip cookies and added white chocolate chips to the mix. A brand new cookie with an old recipe, so you know these are already good.

You could sub all of the milk chocolate for white for those that are anti-chocolate. Yes, those people exist and I totally don’t judge! There are a lot more white chocolate lovers out there than you think.
