Well, it didn’t work. My diet, that is. (I’m sure these cookies had nothing to do with it.) I’ve never really been on a diet before, unless you count baby weight. The diet was partly the result of a bit of a swimsuit fiasco. We are going to Australia on vacation, and I needed a new swimsuit. I found this one and bought a size 8. I could barely get it on. So I sent it back and got a 10. STILL could barely get it on, but once it was on, it fit perfectly. But I didn’t want to have to do gymnastics every time I got dressed, so I ordered the 12. That one was too big. What’s a girl to do??
Keep the size 10 and go on a diet of course. Clearly I should be investing in another swimsuit, but I’m in too deep now. I asked my mom to reinforce all the seams for me. (Thanks Mom!!) Hopefully I won’t bust a hole in it while I’m on vacation!! Wish me luck!
Although I suppose it’s pretty rich to be asking for luck when I keep making stuff. Decadent stuff, like these chocolate cookies. I love me a good crispy cookie every now and then (like these Classic Gingersnaps) but my heart truly belongs to soft, chewy cookies that are gooey and decadent. And warm. With a glass of milk. Well these chocolate cookies definitely deliver. They are super soft because there is sour cream in the dough. It makes for a little bit more of a cakey cookie, but not so much that you feel like you’re not eating a cookie, if that makes sense. They are still rich and tender.
Then you top them off with a decadent peanut butter frosting. This frosting is not for the faint of heart, it is intense. You definitely are going to need that glass of milk! You will feel like that guy on the old Got Milk commercial who knew the answer to “Who shot Alexander Hamilton?” (Awen Buuhh!) (Kind of funny that these days everyone and their mom knows the answer to that question since the musical came out!)
And then to balance out all the rich tender gooeyness, I topped off each cookie with a healthy sprinkle of crushed pretzels and chopped peanuts. This is totally optional, but in my opinion adds a little something special to these cookies. It makes them fancy and unique. They would be great to make for a baby shower or a party where you want to impress. Let me know if you try them out! Next I’ll be posting a salad. No, seriously! I know salads are uncommon around here. It’s the salad from Buca di Beppo…that I promised I would be posting next on my LAST post. You guys are going to start thinking I’m bluffing. Just you wait.
