For those of you who don't know how SRC works, each month you're assigned a blog, you choose a recipe, keep it a secret until reveal day and then blog about it. I was assigned Satisfy My Sweet Tooth. I've been trying to choose savory recipes for SRC but with a blog assignment containing sweet in the title, it's hard to go for savory. Satisfy My Sweet Tooth features so many delicious recipes, it was difficult to choose just one to make. How many times have you heard someone say, "These are the best cookies?". With a title like that I couldn't resist.
Half of the recipe went to work with me for a coworkers birthday and the other half with Tim for his office. When I asked Tim what was his coworkers thought of them, he said everyone said these were "The Best Cookies". Guess we now know where the title came from.
Next time I make these, I want try a few more chocolate chips and a little less salt. These just seemed a little salty to me! Also, mine took more like 12 minutes to bake.
