I’m surrounded by Carolina fans who are exuberant about their final four victory, while I’m still sad about my Wildcat’s loss. Guess I’ll just eat chocolate and what better form then in a decadent rich chocolate cookie. These are Dorie Greenspan’s World Peace Cookies. They may not lead to world peace but they are great if you need a pick me up. I love the gooey chocolate chunks that you get in every bite. As suggested in her book, I used a good quality dark chocolate. They turned out almost as pretty as the picture on the cover of her book Dorie’s Cookies.
As for basketball, there’s always next year!World Peace Cookies
