We celebrated Easter at home this year. Children are miles away and the weather was nasty; we enjoyed a quiet Easter watching General Conference. Counsel from inspired leaders is always welcome. The love and encouragement I felt from Prophets of God was just what I needed.
I decided not to buy Easter candy but I did make Dorie's World Peace Cookies. Wow can I just say these cookies are delicious. These butter-rich, sandy-textured slice and bake cookies are a member of the sable family. Chocolate is the star ingredient so I chopped a bar of Scharffen Berger Chocolate that I had been saving for just the right recipe. This is a simple cookie with few ingredients, handle the dough as little as possible, chill the dough thoroughly, slice and bake. This just may be the best cookie I have ever eaten!
Check this blog for the recipe and great tips for baking World Peace Cookies. I am thinking that a well stocked freezer should always contain a roll of this delicious cookie dough. You never know when a chocolate craving will hit!
Yum! I wish I had a stack of these to eat right now! They look so appetizing, especially with all that delicious premium chocolate!
ReplyDeleteI joined after this one had been made, but I have often read posts raving about how wonderful they are. I guess I will have to try them one day. Yours look fabulous!!
