You Gotta Be Effing Kidding Me Cookies.

My friends, I really am the definition of *Having Some Nerve.*  Here I am, writing about cookies that are so good, I'm calling them, 'You Gotta Be Effing Kidding Me' Cookies, at a time when it is very possible that I should be saying, 'What are you? Effing kidding me?' in response to someone who asks me if I WANT a cookie.  But whatever.

It's the holidays. (Oh, man. Not good, right?)

Anyway.

It is a recipe that I've been tinkering around with and I think that I've GOT IT.

They are basically Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies, with a little extra LOVE.

Ingredients:

1 C. butter (I use half butter, half earth balance or some other stuff of that kind.) Melted.
1 1/2 C. white sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla (you can use more if you really like vanilla, I skimp.)
2 C. flour
2/3 C. GOOD cocoa
3/4 tsp. baking soda
scant 1/2 tsp sea salt
1 TBSP instant coffee granules
2 C. semi-sweet chocolate chips (I used 1 1/2 C. Ghirardelli semi sweet and 1/2 Ghirardelli white chocolate chips.  I'm not super-crazy about white chocolate but in the cookies they were great and they looked extra cute.)
1/2 C. chopped walnuts

Directions:

1.  Preheat oven to 350.

2.  In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, salt, chocolate chips and walnuts. 

3.  In a large bowl whisk together melted butter (not hot, just to the point of meltedness), eggs, vanilla and instant coffee.

4.  Add the dry ingredients into the wet in three or so batches, mixing by hand until incorporated.

5. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto un-greased (I used non-stick) cookie sheets and bake for exactly 8 minutes.  Cool for a few minutes on the sheet and transfer to cooling rack.

6. Try not to hate me for giving you this recipe.

Note: The batter looks foocackt, but it's not.  It looks a little dry and crumbly but just TRUST.  Pat those little spoonfuls a tad and then place them, with tender loving, onto the sheet.  They come out chewy and moist and fudgy and DELICIOUS.

xo,

TNG

One of the few good things about being gluten intolerant? Your recipe means NOTHING to me. HA HA HA. No temptation at all. You LOSE.

I also wanted to say, "Penis-penis" because I thought it was appropriate.

I can't wait to try these. It's the last thing I need but right now the only thing I want.

Those sounds absolutely evil- in a good way.
