I made cookies! ***Edited: PIP of mine!***

It's my good friend and coworker's birthday today, so last night I made her some cookies. Homemade Oreos! That's right. They are SO good. They're from this cookbook:

Flour: Spectacular Recipes from Boston's Flour Bakery + Cafe

Flour: Spectacular Recipes from Boston's Flour Bakery + Cafe

They're seriously amazing. Way better than store-bought! Those aren't my cookies (alas), but they turned out SO good. :)

Here are mine:

They're HUGE (like 4-5" diameter). The dough wasn't refrigerated long enough, so they spread more than I'd have liked. But still super yummy! :)

  • Exciting!! Did you use double-dutched cocoa (the black stuff)? If so, did you find it locally or have to order it? I keep wanting to try it but hate paying for shipping.

    Those look delicious! Would you be able to post the recipe? Were the cookies soft or hard? I'd love to try it out. Every Monday night at choir people are supposed to volunteer to bring in goodies to share with the group so it's a good excuse for me to bake on Sundays.
    i wanna know this too!

    I had to sub some stuff. I used Hershey's Kisses instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips (so it was milk-chocolate), and I only had Hershey's unsweetened cocoa. So that's what I used. But they still turned out pretty darn good!

    lol. we totally need another DSTP. but since you're techincially not allowed to bring babies--we'd have to wait until the baby is old enough that mommy-jennlin doesn't get separation anxiety Big Smile
