Life is too short for Semi Sweet… August 22
I can make some pretty awesome chocolate chip cookies. I follow the classic recipe with a few tiny tweaks and as long as I remember to take them out in time, they rock. I’m not claiming to make the best cookies. I’m simply saying they rock.
Tonight I decided to add M&Ms because I love M&Ms. I need to experiment some more with the right chocolate chip – M&M – dough ratio. I keep a stock of Ghirardelli chocolate pieces for making fudge or cookies (and the occasional monthly midnight “must have some/ any chocolate” desperate binge). The bags of Semi Sweet pieces being barely used, I decided to mix them with the M&Ms, thinking the candies are sweet to start so the Semi Sweets would balance things out. Nahhhhh! I think Double Fudge is the better way to go here. The Milk Chocolate pieces would be too sweet with M&Ms, but please! Never again with the Semi Sweets! What’s the purpose? I’ll use them in fudge because they are melted down and mixed with a ton of sugar. The cookies aren’t seeing any more Semi Sweet. Life is just too short!
