So… looks like 2021 is off to a very rough start.
In the past few days I’ve found myself needing to step away from all media coverage and hunker down in the Bakery or our Test Kitchen. I need to create something and treat myself and my family.
2 weeks ago we were all hopeful that, somehow, 2020 would come to an end and magically we’ve all go back to normal in 2021. Like ever year we were all about eating more healthy, exercising more and getting more sleep. I’ve seem to have quickly moved past that phase and now I’m, once again I’m looking for some delicious comfort food – something sweet and and chocolatey that gives me a lot a flavor and satisfaction – to help offset the sugar guilt. This little cookie fits the bill for sure. Using our All Purpose Flour Blend, it’s healthier than most. 
Super dark chocolate flavor – from the Pure Dark Saco Cocoa (which has NO sugar). This is the same Cocoa we use in our Brownie Mix). The recipe does have some Pure Cane Sugar and Brown Sugar too – but, it is after all – a treat. The recipe is at the bottom of this post.
This little cookie is so satisfying I can only eat one. But that’s just me, my son can eat 3. So treat yourself!
