Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
As I mentioned before, my youngest sister was in town a couple weeks ago for her Spring Break. We did a LOT of baking. It’s so fun hanging out with someone who enjoys baking almost as much as I do! I definitely didn’t have the bug at such an early age and I can only imagine what kinds of awesomeness she’ll be baking up when she’s my age.
Here’s another recipe we made while she was in town. These cookies were seen on a show on TV and within an hour, we were eating freshly baked Double Chocolate Chip Cookies. Even the “non-chocolate” guy of the house enjoyed them. Be sure to head over to Lemon Sugar where I’m guest posting today to get the full scoop on these cookies, including the recipe.

Looks great!! I love the history info too 🙂 Congrats you did an awesome job!
Love the history info and your buttercream looks so silky. Nicely done!
good job! rolls like the yule log and the pumpkin roll really aren’t too hard to make, but they’re great to bring to get togethers b/c everyone loves them 🙂
Congrats on your first “real” yule log. I wasn’t crazy about the buttercream either, though I did like the coffee flavor!
Yum! Very nice, creamy-looking buttercream. Looks delish! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
I went for raspberry inside too – and agree that chocolate frosting would be tastier. Good job!
You did an awesome job, Jen!
Your log turned out so pretty – as did the mushrooms!
Way to go!

Your log looks wonderful, so silky creamy. Happy Holidays!
Your log looks awesome. Congratulations on completing the challenge.
Very pretty! I thought this one was harder than the “Buche” I made in French class too.
I love your texturing – nice log!
Job well done. I made it with chocolate buttercream and I think it would have gone lovely with raspberry.
I love the idea of the raspberry filling with the coffee buttercream. That must have tasted incredible.
As worldly as I thought I was at the time, I never could have attempted anything this complex in high school. You did a great job with your… it looks luscious!
I hope you had a joyous holiday, and that 2008 brings you health and happiness, laughter and love.
Great bûche de Noël and I loved reading your post.
Happy Holidays!
