Fantastically flavored Cookies loaded with Almond Butter, Mascarpone, Toasted Coconut, and Dark Chocolate Chips!
Hello Cookies! Hello Friday! You guys go very well together. I love you both dearly. Friday means my husbands home for the next two days. It means relaxation and fun things! It also means pizza night. I really like Fridays.
Cookies are pretty awesome too. They’re definitely the one sweet that I just can’t leave alone. Have I ever told you that I used to not like cookies at all. I could totally pass them by without a blink of an eye. Didn’t really care for them because I preferred the dough. oh man, I could eat bowls of dough.
My mom is awesome. I remember when we were younger, she used to make us egg-less cookie dough and keep in the fridge, rolled into a log, so we could just slice off a chunk when we wanted some dough. She pretty much always kept the fridge stocked with it. Oatmeal-Cinnamon was my favorite. Heavy on the cinnamon. I didn’t even need the chocolate chips.
I wish I was cool enough to do that for my kids. However, unlike her, I can’t just walk by it every day. I’d be sitting there biting chunks off that cookie dough log every time I opened the fridge. Eventually Id probably just give up and eat the whole darn thing.
I fell in love with cookies shortly after meeting my husband. He was obsessed, still is. They’re his biggest vice. And now, they’ve become mine. Second to wine. 😉
These cookies have it all. Creamy almond butter, soft mascarpone, dark chocolate chips, toasted coconut..they’re a flavor bomb. They’re really mild as far as the sweetness goes, which we totally loved. It’s also kind of dangerous, because when something isn’t to sweet, I can usually handle a lot more of it!
We demolished these cookies in about two days. Maybe three. My kids couldn’t get enough either! They’re soft but crumbly, chewy perfection!
