As it turns out, it wasn’t really red enough (just more cocoa-y), but I did find this recipe for Red Velvet Blossoms that also rolled the cookies in red sugar and I thought they looked neat, so here is one more submission for Chocolate Week. Using Hershey’s Hugs instead of Kisses is also a nice touch to get them to stand out. This is a recipe that I’ll add to the Valantine’s Day list too!

I was going to call these cookies “Clearing out the Pantry” or “Everything AND the Kitchen Sink Cookies” because they are loaded with as many varieties of chocolate chips as I could find: Semi-sweet chocolate, white chocolate, espresso chips and Bailey’s Chips. In fact, there are so many chips in the cookies that I had a hard time getting them to stick together. But in the end, they did, and combine all those chips with a chocolate cookie as the base and we have chocolate overload (appropriate given that is Chocolate-Week in the CSPS Bake/Cook-a-long).
Here’s a cleaver little twist on your standard biscuit — it’s a muffin instead! I mean, it tastes just like your standard, flakey herb and parm biscuit — great with soup! — but “individually wrapped” like a muffin. Either way, tasty and a great accompaniment to soups or salads, or even for breakfast along side bacon and eggs. Best to use fresh herbs in this recipe, as the dried sort taste chalky!
