But chocolate chocolate.
(In case you haven't figured it out, I made you uber-chocolatey cookies today.)
I know I've told you, but I was never been a huge chocolate person.
Yes. I said was.
Being on paleo has made me crave chocolate like whoah. Like, allllll the time! I have no idea what's going on!
But since I can't eat chocolate (the competition is in just 2 weeks, eeep!), I curb my cravings with fruit and jars & jars of nut butter. I've recently discovered Barney Butter, which is the most amazeballs almond butter made on this planet. It's totally that good. Go buy a jar, or three. Then buy yourself some macadamia butter. Say whaaaa?? Yeah, it exists. And totally rocks my life.
Anywho, like I said, I can't really eat chocolate right now, but when I saw we were making these cookies for Milk Bar Mondays, I knew it'd be a problem. I mean, how could I resist chocolate CHOCOLATE cookies?!
I couldn't. Obvi.
These cookies were super duper chocolatey, just as promised. It was great how easy these were to put together. You just make a chocolate crumb, then add it to the chocolate cookie dough. Too easy! The chocolate crumb adds a nice texture & salty bite to the cookie.
If I'm being honest though, I thought the cookie was the most "normal" recipe I've made for Milk Bar Mondays. Usually, I find the desserts to be unique and unbelievably delicious. And while this chocolate cookie was good, they just weren't anything spectacular. I still prefer my favorite triple chocolate cookies.

not a chocolate person until recently? I can't relate :)
ReplyDeletethey look awesome but good feedback about preferring your other standby recipe!
these look delicious!
ReplyDeleteMy chocolate craving skyrocketed after I started eating Paleo! Used to love all things Skittles, Starburst, and Sour Patch Watermelons but now I won't touch the stuff! You get 20 million gold stars for self control :)
ReplyDeleteI have never been a big chocolate person either but every now and then it definitely does the trick. Great job with your paleo diet!
ReplyDeleteHoly serious! I just watched that CrossFit video and now I'm really scurrred of YOU! That's INTENSE! I can't wait to hear about the competition!! And I can totally relate to not really being a chocolate person - I'm not much of one myself but I did really like these cookies. I think it was the salt and using unsweetened cocoa powder. Yours are so pretty as always, Nicole!!
ReplyDeleteThis cookie isn't spectacular, you say? It looks spectacular. And I have chocolate cravings basically every day!
ReplyDeleteYours look so smooth and shiny! They look just like my favorite brownie cookies- yum! I am so impressed with your Crossfit work- Andy does it and it is intense!!! Go girl!
ReplyDeleteI am with Averie! I have always had a major chocolate addiction. I thought these were pretty good, but next time I might add chocolate chips (dark, milk & white) to the batter before I bake them. Or maybe frosting?! Your cookies look so brownie like and delicious! Great job!
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious! I love a good chocolate cookie and these look awesome.
ReplyDeleteI totally thought mine weren't anything insane too, until I put them in the FREEZER. Frozen, they're somehow rocking my world completely. But maybe use them as a crust for a pie or something when you're DONE WITH THIS CRAZY COMPETITION! GO YOU! GOOD LUCK! Can't wait to hear all about it. And you should reward yourself with a favorite something, too... even just a nibble. Rock on!
ReplyDeleteYUM! This looks amazing... and I've always been a chocolate person. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Nicole! These cookies look awesome. I love the deep brown color, really chocolatey. Have been neglecting my oven for a few days now because of the heat, but i think i just found the recipe to get me back to my baking stint. Thanks for sharing.
