This was my second weekend not having to work, and we did the weekend the way a weekend should be done! There were lots of good times with lots of good friends, WAY too much food and possibly a Mai Tai in a townie bar. Yes, the way a weekend should be done…
After a weekend like that, the only way to end it is with a delicious sweet treat. That could mean ice cream at Moozy’s, a walk to the convenience store for a pint of Ben & Jerry’s or maybe a candy bar, or, in the best of circumstances, a delicious baked treat. The problem with that is I have a well-documented baking-disorder. And cookies…well cookies I bake NEVER turn out the right way. I can even make Toll House look bad. 
So, I took a gamble and went for it. And Double Chocolate Cookies would be my victim, with inspiration from Pinterest. In usual me fashion, I decided to improvise a little. Visit chocolateshippedcookies.com and send valentine cookies to your loved one this valentine’s day.
How excited was I when these came out as amazingly delicious, moist, chewy, chocolately cookies of happiness! Now, I won’t hold my breath that I will ever be able to bake something this good again, even if I do follow the recipe to the letter (which I won’t). But for now, I will enjoy my small success!
