Mmmmmm. That pretty much sums up these amazing cookies.
They are just YUMMY! Melted chocolate covers ooey-gooey homemade caramel, which tops an homemade shortbread-type crust.
I made these last night, (again, I wasn't planning on making cookies, but after I got out from work yesterday and the grocery store was right there...well, it all fell into place), but the chocolate didn't harden in time for me to cut them, take a picture, post, and not stay up until midnight. So, I just waited til this morning to show the deliciousness. I think these may be my favorite so far.
OK, so definitely no cookies today or tonight. Besides, I already have homemade pizza to make, and the Celtic-Lakers Finals are on tonight. The two go hand-in-hand. I may just post my pizza on here; even though it's not a cookie, it's awesome! Best of baking! 
About those Late Night Cookies...well, you know how the book suggested eating them with an "obscene amount of ice cream"? I'm not sure about the obscene part, but my mom decided to put peppermint ice cream between two cookies and-viola!-ice cream sandwiches! It's not just any ice cream either; it's Lago's ice cream, which is a super-awesome local place around here, and they're just known for their incredible ice cream. So, incredible ice cream plus super-good cookies? Let's just say my family was very pleased! : ) More cookies to come!
I wasn't totally planning on making another batch of cookies today, but I forgot I told my little sister that I would help her make cookies for her teacher's birthday. So, another cookie adventure was born! ; ) These cookies are called Chocolate Crackle-tops, and they are delicious; almost like a mini-chocolate cake, covered in sweet powdered sugar...yummy! The Crackle-tops start with chocolate and butter melted together in a saucepan, then you add some sugar and stir until all combined. Next are the eggs and vanilla, and then the dry ingredient mixture (flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt). Just gradually add the the dry ingredients to the chocolate mixture, and then chill for about an hour (I chilled mine longer, because we all decided to go to the beach!). After they're all done chilling out, you scoop them out, roll 'em into balls, roll in powdered sugar, then bake for about 15 minutes in an 325 degree oven. Perfection! I hope my sisters teacher and class like them as much as I do! Probably no cookies tomorrow, but I said that yesterday. : ) Best of baking!
