Cookie Carnival: Chocolate Fudge Cookies



Ok, yum.  Seriously, just yum.  This month's recipe is good.  Not just good, but GOOD.  So good, that less than a week after I made the first batch, I made a second one.  On the same day that we were picking up our Girl Scout cookies.  There wasn't going to be a shortage of cookies in my house.  But I needed to have these available to me.  This is a "I can barely pass by the jar without taking one" cookie.

They are very easy to assemble.  Ice cream scoops -- not just for ice cream.  They make portioning out cookies very easy.  I used dried cherries in the first batch, and a mix of dried fruit in the second one.  Normally, I am not a dried fruit fan when it comes to cookies, but this really added a nice dimension.  I used a mix of black and regular cocoa.  It helped to make these extra rich.  I did cut down on the amount of chocolate chunks for the second batch.  I wanted the other flavors to come through a little more.  This recipe is definitely finding a spot in my cookie world.

Thanks, Kate!  Here's the recipe if you'd like to start your own addiction.

I am very likely to lose control around these. But I still might make them anyway.
