Do you like country music? I’m currently watching the ACM’s..I DVR’d them the other night and am finally catching up..seriously, what did people do before there was a dvr?! Oh, Blake Shelton and Luke Bryan are sexy. very sexy. Clearly I’m a huge fan of country music..much to my hubs dismay. Every time we get into the car he changes the stations on me..hes a hater. But he’s used to it by now..I’m a lover.
I’ve mentioned before how before I got pregnant I never liked cookies, at all. And I hardly every ate any candy or sweets. (Seriously, trying to lose this baby weight, and I wish I still had that problem) However, now, I can’t get enough of it. The texture, the thousands of flavor combinations, the sweetness, the dough, basically if I could live off cookies I would.
I have a serious problem with portion control, I have a hard time stopping at just one or two..especially with the incredibly wonderful and addictive ones. Much like these Espresso Caramel Coconut Dark Chocolate Cookies…that’s a mouthful, huh?! I didn’t want to leave any of the major components out of the title, because every part is so incredible by itself, and then combined, woo..out.of.this.world.
I made these cookies awhile back and am really wishing I had some right now to munch on..they are so full of flavors and so fantastic! They’re soft and chewy, chocolatey, and loaded with a few of my favorite fillings!
