These are not Christmas Cookies… though they might look like it. And I might actually use them as Christmas Cookies in the future, but for now, they are just cookies for cookies sake. I added espresso powder, cinnamon and chili powder to make them a little more complex. Don’t skip the “chilling” step, otherwise you won’t get the crinkle effect. Definitely a winner!

A few weeks ago, I made these really yummy Vanilla/Chocolate Wafer Disk Cookies In my overly ambitious thought at the time, I was actually going to make these Chocolate/Vanilla (ie the reverse) Wafer Disk Cookies at the time too, but sometimes time gets away from me. Instead, I made them today and they are ever bit as delicious as the mirror image ones!
So this is what happens when you are in the mood for chocolate chip cookies and haven’t got any chocolate chips in the house, but *do* have those chocolate melting wafers … voila! Chocolate chip cookies, just with one giant chocolate ship. Worked out pretty well for a spur of the moment decision. Be forewarned though — these do spread quite a bit so leave plenty of space between the cookies on the baking sheet!
In case you haven’t heard — and goodness knows that I have been talking about it a lot on Facebook — but there are now these Bailey’s Irish Cream baking chips on the market. They are chocolate with Bailey’s flavoring, which sounds just delicious. So, I got me-self a bunch of bags and am trying out some recipes. First up, these Triple Chip Mudslide Cookies with Irish Cream, Mocha and White Chocolate Chips. Yes, overload on the chips. A little on the sweet side, but otherwise really good. I had a little bit of Irish Cream extract which I put in too, but it’s optional and you could definitely just go with vanilla extract as well.
