488397 Sun Feb 10 20:15:36 -0800 2008 12 31 Home Cooking 0 3384333 I would like to make my Valentine a batch of cookies. Does anyone have anything particularly rich and decadent to share? I suppose I'd like something chocolate, but I am certainly open to suggestion. I was considering the *eek* Paula Deen Ooey Gooey Chocolate cookies, but the reviews on the website seem pretty mixed.

I made them for Christmas gifts and everyone raved. http://www.leitesculinaria.com/recipes/cookbook/korova.html Mon Feb 11 02:20:11 -0800 2008 3384333 158180 nanette 1 3384981 My most favorite are the One Bowl Chocolate Chocolate Cookies from Bakers Chocolate - I can't find it on the website so I'll type it out - 8 oz semisweet chocolate - chop and set aside 8 oz semisweet chocolate - melt in the microwave in a large mizing bowl 3/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup butter, 2 eggs, 1 tsp vanilla - add to smooth 1/2 cup flour, 1/4 tsp baking powder - add 2 cups chopped nuts - add with reserved chopped chocolate bake 1/4 cupfuls at 350 for 12 - 13 minutes.

I make them often, and depending on my mood, have added the following from time to time: - York peppermint patties crumbled on top - Peanut butter swirled into the batter - Marshmallows For Valentine's Day last year I cut brownie hearts out with a cookie cutter, and served with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of Red Hots.

I ask because am allergic to nuts, but love the chocolate ration in this recipe Mon Feb 11 21:56:37 -0800 2008 3384981 17714 alex8alot 3 3398430 I've made them without nuts. They work fine and are only a bit more moist. Of course, you get fewer!
