Yesterday I kept it light and healthy with a Three Bean Salad, and today I rewarded myself with some All-American Chocolate Chip Cookies from page 54.
I love baking cookies! Especially rich, gooey chocolate chip cookies. They’re easy to make and way better than any pre-packaged dough you can get in the supermarket. Martha’s recipe is especially good, with lots of brown sugar that gives them a great caramelized texture. I added plenty of chocolate chips and some chopped pecans that made them even more special.
My hand is making a special guest appearance in this edition of the Me n’ Martha Project, getting ready to dunk my cookies into a glass of coconut milk, a delicious low-fat alternative to dairy. It gives the cookies a nice little hint of coconut, which is always a good thing!
