A few weeks ago my good friend Holly sent me a little surprise in the mail. Well, actually, it wasn't a surprise. She told me she had come up with the most AWESOME chocolate cookie recipe ever, so naturally, I had to verify. However, I offered my services with strict orders to ONLY send a few. I don't often eat my own cookies, but friends like Holly seem to stick to you in all the wrong places, SOOOOOOO, sure enough, as promised, they are, THE BEST CHOCOLATE cookies EVER!!! I received three flavors. Chocolate mint, chocolate raspberry, and chocolate orange. All were great, but the one I expected to like the least, chocolate mint, absolutely blew my mind. Suddenly three was NOT enough, so, in the midst of complaining about my weight, I requested more. After a bit of bargaining, we decided that I could have another shipment, but only after I lost ten pounds. Seemed simple enough, but after a week of walking and watching those calories, I only lost a whopping four pounds! Boooooooo!
So, to help myself along, I did the logical thing, I cheated. I made my own.
Have you ever heard the old saying, "Cheaters never win?" Well, mark it true. Good, yes. Holly's cookies? Definitely not. Moral of the story, cookies are always better if someone else makes them for you! The good news is, anyone can get Holly's chocolate fudge brownie cutouts. Just visit her website,
Pipeline Confections, and order away! PLEASE order away! If I can't get rid of my ten pounds, I'll just shoot to add ten pounds to everyone else, so I'll blend right in =)

Very, very cute cookies btw. Thanks for the inspiration!!! :) Love all the mug cookies! Love all your cookies!! I use mmf(marshmallow fondant) for my cookies, but love the royal icing work you do!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog for inspiration, but I make my own cookies, so I won't be ordering from Hawaii. Sorry!
ReplyDeleteabsolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLOL, Ronda. I am shooting for a Hawaiian Christmas present, but I owe her some cookies first! I see too much of mine, so Holly's are a welcome change.
ReplyDeleteFondant Girl, I really admire what you do. fondant makes a very elegant cookie. I just dont have a knack for the stuff!
Bren, it doesn't get better. Holly created a monster. I didnt even like chocolate cookies, until now!
Ahhh these are so cute!
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome! I'm dying over here because I can't wait to get started on my "Cookie-A-Day", but we're in the middle of packing up and moving to a new home, so it will have to wait until January. UGH!!! I want to play!!! :o( I have a lot of catching up to do!! My first cookie will definitely be grandma's beer can! Thanks for the idea! :o)
ReplyDeleteI love these cookies! I have to get cracking on some Christmas baking !
ReplyDeleteI tried chocolate last year and loved them, but the fam said they preferred the traditional sugar cookie. It is better if I bake what they like rather than what I prefer!!!! Not sure that cookie decorating is the best hobby for people who want to lose 10+ pounds!!!! Good luck with your health kick. Show us how it's done!!!
ReplyDeleteThese are just beautiful, truly, I'm amazed!
