Sweet Melissa Sunday - Chocolate Chip Cookies

This week we baked Melissa's chocolate chip and toasted almond cookies. These cookies are fabulous--full of chocolate and nuts and without a lot of other bells and whistles that usually take away from the genius of a simple chocolate chip cookie. They hold their shape during baking, so you end up with a nice substantial cookie. Sweet Melissa herself, Melissa Murphy, hosted this week's recipe. You can see her photos and comments here, as well as get the full recipe. http://sweetmelissasundays.wordpress.com/2009/06/14/how-sweet-it-is-sms-chocolate-chip-cookies-with-toasted-almonds/
Neat! If you are in the mood for a good old-fashioned chocolate chip cookie, try these; they are pretty amazing.

  8. Hi Melissa!

    Your cookies came out perfect, and I love that tray you served them on. I'm so glad you liked the recipe too! Thanks for stopping by my site, and I hope to talk to you again after next weekend's recipe!

    Oh, by the way- I laughed when I read your ice cream post and you made the cookie spoons from this month's MSL... I saw them yesterday and thought, there is NO way those spoons won't break when trying to scoop up a bite of ice cream. They're super adorable, and I love the idea, but maybe only practical if you were having soft-serve! Yours came out awesome though, so I'm glad you gave it a go :)

  9. Joy- Thank you for commenting. You are right, the spoons are for soft ice cream, though they are surprisingly sturdy!
