I have a handful of posts started- none of which are finished or posted. It’s how I roll.
So back to me- I think I have baked about 100 dozen cookies in the last 6 months. I have eaten about half of them- by myself. But the challenge to my baker friends is this- help me figure out how to re-create the Chocolate Duet Cookie from this restaurant.
Been experimenting with this recipe from a cute little blog I found last year- its pretty good. They are like eating brownies- but they still need a little tweeking to get them where they need to be. I have tried espresso powder- just made them dry. (Plus I bought the cookie from the bakery late one night- it was wrapped with an ingredient label- did not include espresso powder). I think the taste is not far off- but the part I can’t get is the texture that is so perfect about the bakery-cafe version.
So this is a challenge to help me out- my waste line & reflux cannot handle another 100 dozen in an attempt to get this one right. (And if you know how to make bagels like they do- teach me how to do that too.)
P.S. This request is specifically directed to this great baker I know and whose blog I stalk- cause I think if anyone can do it-she can. L
I’m sorry I have NO idea how to help you with figuring out that recipe…but just thought I better let you know, if you do have to make another 100 dozen to figure it out please don’t feel overwhelmed to eat them by yourself! I will help!
You just let me know when I can be of service! That picture on the top left has me salivating. Mmmmmm.
You are too kind
But I’m all about the challenge!! And since I’m pregnant, calories don’t count, so I don’t have to worry about eating 100 dozen cookies to get there, haha 
My first step will be stopping at Panera sometime and trying one of these delectables. I’m excited! 
[...] chip cookies the other day. Or maybe the more appropriate phrasing is, she made my mouth water from this post that I just had to make them! Anyway, I tried a new recipe and told her I would let her know how [...]
