The Cookie Project is a year-long experiment to combine my love for baking and trying new things.
Yesterday was our second “official” Sunday family dinner. Instead of just throwing something onto plates and calling it good, Mark and I decided that we really wanted to embrace Sundays and make them special. It’s been so fun to create a menu together, work beside each other in the kitchen and create a memory that I hope will stick with my kids forever.
If you know my husband, you already know that he is an amazing cook. Sundays have become his day to shine. I help with the menu and I’m good at following his directions, but I give the credit to him. But dessert? That’s all me.
This week I thought I would try a cookie recipe that reminded me of my four-year-old, J. Almost every morning, after watching me brew my morning coffee, he asks if I could make him a cup of hot cocoa. I love sitting with him as he tells me random details about super heroes or the latest episode of Wild Kratts. He chugs his cocoa and is done in minutes, but I treasure that time so much.
Hot Cocoa Cookies were the perfect dessert for Sunday dinner.
THE RECIPE
The recipe I used is from Holly at Life in the Lofthouse. While there is a little bit of work involved, these cookies are definitely worth it. So delicious with a glass of cold milk or a cup of coffee. You can find the recipe here.
