I have broken one of my hard and fast rules for Cookie Thursday is a Thing.
I have made a chocolate cookie.
I don’t enjoy making chocolate cookies. So I don’t.
However, since the theme of the month is This is Halloween, and the makes have chocolate in them and I had eyeball candies, I decided to make an exception.
Because those white eyes need to pop!
I made chocolate cookie dough and added the eyeballs, which I have to point out I have used before in other baked goods. Drop them onto the baking sheets and bake 10 minutes. Easy peasy.
Except, this time, for some unknown reason, the eyeballs melted!
I thought this was going to be a cute cookie, with the contrast between chocolate cookie and white eyeballs. But no.
What I am left with is a chocolate cookie with random toffee bits, instead of candy eyeballs.
Rude.
However, par for the course because the base of Cookie Thursday is a Thing has been experimentation. This is one experiment that I will not do again.
The cookies are fudgy and crisp and chewy and I wouldn’t kick them out of the cookie jar. But not what I had in mind.
