Perhaps one of these Chocolate-Peppermint Cookies, from the December 2008 issue of MS Living, would revive me. Or perhaps not. On the one hand, I don't really like white chocolate; on the other, they're so pretty! And they feature what is apparently one of my very favorite flavor combinations (right up there with chocolate and peanut butter, two great tastes that taste great together).
But this is a dessert wishlist, so I don't have to be practical (see four-layer collapsing cake, below) or worry that I don't like one of the main ingredients. I'm never going to make these cookies—they look nearly impossible, and I can barely type with this gimpy finger, let alone make cookie dough, roll it out, cut it, bake it, melt the chocolate, dip the cookies in the chocolate, and sprinkle the whole mess with candy bits.
My only hope is that they will appear on my countertop like Jesus was born to Mary in the manger, a sort of virgin baking event wherein I sit chastely in my kitchen doing nothing but end up with a plate of cookies. A real Christmas miracle.
i have to admit, after all the holiday baking i've been doing lately, i kinda hope that the 7 dozen cupcakes that i have to bake tonight after work will magically appear on my kitchen countertop like jesus was born to mary in a manger, too.
ReplyDeleteAll that post-work baking sounds dreadful for you, MLC, but how lucky for the recipient(s) of those 84 cupcakes! I recommend you quit that day job of yours and go into cupcakes full time, so instead of baking *after* work, you'll bake *at* work. Brilliant!
