The 36 Hour Cookies

Although I'm a bit behind the blogging world curve on this one, this past weekend I decided we should give "the best ever chocolate chip cookies" a try. Want to read more about them? Go here.

The recipe is a little different than your standard chocolate chip, and the cookies are definitely bigger than your standard cookie (3.5 ounces each), but the big "twist" on the recipe is the 36 hours you're supposed to let the dough chill before cooking. We made a fresh partial batch at the same time that we cooked the 36 hour dough, so we can tell you that they do taste different. My mother calls it a "smoother" flavor. We all agreed they were good, but very rich!

Jake wasn't quite sure what to do with such a huge cookie.


Viva knew just what to do with it.


And Bentley? He showed his usual restraint that he has when it comes to food. He tried some of the cookie dough, but when we asked if he wanted a cookie? "No thanks, maybe later". ODD behavior, I tell you.

Yum!! I am going to make this ASAP!! Where did you get the "chocolate discs"?

P.S. We have to force feed our kids cookies! It's ridiculous. Reid is getting better at his sweet tooth, but Finn pitches a fit if we offer him cookies or ice cream. I feel bad that I'm trying to force feed him sweets, but c'mon...that's weird!
