Diseased Cookies are the Best Kind of Cookies!!

No. Don't ever say that. That is a bad saying.

Yet, we post it anyway. We are bad bloggers.

Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving! We promise to post something Thanksgiving-esque in the near future.

But for today we bring your late night chocolate fix: Midnight Jewels

It may look slightly diseased, but it's not, we promise!


These are basically chocolate chip cookie dough with the chocolate in the middle instead! Yum.


Midnight Jewels
adapted from Mrs. Fields Cookie Book


Ingredients (Cookies):

3/4 Cup Butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 dark brown sugar
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
2 Egg Yolks
1 1/2 cup All Purpose Flour

What to do:
1. Cream the butter with an electric mixer
2. Add both sugars and beat until it's smooth
3. Add flour until everything is combined
4. Put in the fridge for anywhere half an hour and an hour (or just cheat like us, and put it in the freezer for half the time or something...)
5. Form half the dough into very flat circles on a cookie sheet
6. Put a dollop of filling on each disk (filling recipe below)
5. Make more circles (slightly larger than the ones on the cookie sheet) to put on top of the ones on the cookie sheet to complete the sandwich and pinch them closed. if you want use a fork to make it look cool or whatever you want (comment if you do something awesome, or even email us picture)
6. Bake at 325 for 15-16 minutes (this will depend on the thickness of your cookie)
7. Eat or whatever

Yummers!

Ingredients (Filling):
1/2 cup Heavy Cream (or half and half if you prefer)
1/2 cup Milk Chocolate pieces
1/2 cup Dark Chocolate pieces

What to do
1. Heat the heavy cream in a sauce pan
2. Stir the chocolates in, a little bit at a time
3. Keep stirring, this is important so it will thicken
4. Let it cool while you make the first circles
5. Form cookies like we told you to before
6. If you have extra filling eat it. It's good. Here, we do not waste chocolate.
