Yum! My go-to rooibos when I want something chocolate in the evening. A little agave nectar complimented the chocolatey goodness. I served it with what I think are now my holy grail chocolate chip cookies:

and it was rich enough to stand up to the baked good. Gotta bump this rating up a bit!!

ooo doubly chocolate desert!
It was missing the bacon, though!!!
:) i need to make more bacon chocolate cookies and send everyone some
Lol! AmazonV – you could do a contest like DoMatcha did where we must extol the virtues of bacon and then you’ll send the winners some bacon chocolate cookies :)
I also just now created a Favorite Recipe folder that’s right next to my Favorite Tea folder because of those cookies. Nommy-Nom-NOM!
Rabs if you like nuts I also added some pecans (about 3/4 cup) and yuuuuummmm. I’ve also made them without (and yuuuummmm ;) They are huge just like a bakery! Oh – the other thing I do is not use brown sugar but use a little less white sugar than the white and brown sugar combined, and then a tablespoon of molasses. It adds a better flavor and a bit of chewiness.
Oh lordy I’m drooling! I’m not the best at cooking, but I love to bake. I love to make my own breads and bagels. I haven’t done cookies in awhile – I’ll let you know when I try ’em. :D
I’d love to learn how to make my own bread, but so far have just gotten good at pizza dough! My husband really got into bread baking when he was in grad school and teaching, but now that he works in a corporate environment w long hours…sigh! No more bread.

Oh that sounds yummers! ::adds to recipe favorites:: My favorite was an Italian Bread recipe I found in Southern Living years and years ago. I’ll see if I can find it online. After reading up on breads in Fannie Farmer’s book on baking I realized that I didn’t need to punch down the dough as much as the recipe called for which made the bread so much easier to make :)
AmazonV – I bought that book and a big food grade plastic tub and have not worked up the gumption to do it yet! I think it’s because I tried the no-knead bread in the cast iron dutch oven that was in the NYT and it was a spectacular failure – I’m not 100% over it! Once school is done I will try :)
