Best Cookies EVER…

All I have to say is thank you Heidi Swanson, author of Supernatural Cooking/ 101 Cookbooks for the  most AMAZING cookies ever! Heidi’s Mesquite Chocolate Chip cookies are to die for. If you want the recipe, you’ve got to grab a copy of her book.  Its soooo damn good, she’s even removed it from her own blog.

Since, I love to share my kitchen creations at work -  especially the baked ones, I decided to bring some in. In the past, when I’ve brought in breads, muffins and even cookies to share that were on the healthier side, they would last awhile - sometimes all day.  I would even hear a few grumbles, gags, or even moans that they were eating something vegan and/or healthy.

Today, the cookies went quickly - really quickly! Much to my amusement, many people first assumed they were store bought; and when they found out I  made them, they assumed they had to be healthy. I think they all might have warmed to the idea of vegan and healthy baked goods had I just lied. But I just couldn’t.  In order to  kill any misconceptions about my beloved cookies, I decided to send an office wide email that went something like this: ” Hello everyone. Yes, I made the cookies. No they are not that healthy. And no, they are not vegan.”

You mean, I can’t have 6 of them and feel good about it? Probably not. But one or two never hurt anyone! :)

YUM!!!
