Nantucket Bike Path Cookies

I think that I have found my favorite chocolate chip cookie. I know that I have said that before, but these are really really good.

These are a variation on Allie’s Nantucket Bike Path Cookies from Through Her Looking Glass; my variation uses white and semi-sweet mini chips and hers used chocolate chunks, but otherwise very similar. And I love the name, even though I don’t know that they are 100% Nantucket-y. I am not sure what would make something 100% Nantucket-y anyway (and I live in Massachusetts!). These do have cognac in them, which is the kicker and makes them so good. I might just have to start butting cognac in all my cookies!

I am not a fan of peanut butter on the whole (“good not great”) but if you have chocolate too, then I am all in. This isn’t her recipe (I modified by own “usual” banana bread recipe) but her’s looked awesome as well. So, thanks for the inspiration!
