Mar 11 Bare Life Hot Chocolate Cookies

Hot Chocolate + Sugar Cookie

“What would happen if hot chocolate and a sugar cookies had a baby?” This is a question I have often asked myself and when Bare Life went live with a recipe challenge, I decided that it would be a good opportunity to try and see how this idea would taste.

I am delighted to report that the results are tasty! This cookie has a blance of chocolate and caramel flavors. If you prefer a cookie with a caramel crisp, then opt for the smaller cookie size in the directions which brings this out more.

More Than Just a Cookie

When I develop recipes, I always have conversations with Mr. Foodie and the Mini-Foodies about other ways to enjoy the food I have just made for us. With these cookies we concluded the following:

They are DELICIOUS with vanilla ice cream!
They would make excellent ice cream sandwiches or frosted sandwich cookies.
The dough can be used as a pie crust.

No matter how you enjoy these cookies they are sure to make your taste buds dance.
