One of my very talented cake friends was asking me about cookies the other day and I dumbfoundedly realized I didn’t have a chocolate cookie recipe. Yes, I realize dumbfoundedly is not a real word but I am choosing to use it because that’s just how shocked I was when I realized I hadn’t taken the time to taste test different recipes. Chocolate recipes none the less!
So…I decided it couldn’t wait. The next day I baked up a big batch of LilaLoa’s “The End-All for Chocolate Cookies” recipe. I mean have you seen her cookies? Anything that pretty has to taste scrumptious! Check out her site!
I decided the occasion would be the first book club my friends and I started. Hearts had nothing to do with the book itself (Sarah’s Key by Tatiana de Rosnay) but it’s Valentine’s week and I gotta say, I love my friends 
They deserve a little spoiling!
So mixed up some pink and red (well I failed again at making red but the color that turned out was pretty cool so I went with it) and went to town.
I have to say…chocolate cookies with royal icing…TO DIE FOR. Still shaking my head that I hadn’t come to this realization sooner. Ok…I’m over it. On to another cookie

These cookies are absolutely gorgeous. They look to me like PATIENCE is a key ingredient. Can you freeze one (maybe a couple) for a taste test later?????

Let’s give it a try!! I’ll put a couple in the freezer today. Although, I did mention the cookie monster who raids our freezer right? If they don’t make it until your next visit I’ll just have to make you fresh ones
