Chocolate cookies for Monday

I made these cookies a few weeks ago from a recipe I found on Orangette because I love chocolate and because they seemed intriguing. While making the recipe, the dough was pretty tough and dry, so I thought these would never work. First time trying a recipe is always an adventure and the result did not totally look like what was on her site, but they tasted delish and smelled yummy as well! Here is the picture for proof:

I haven't been baking as much lately because I've been tired and trying to not eat as many sweets. More so the tiredness though :). I did make a kick-ass rice, sausage and zucchini combo from the newest Rachael Ray magazine that I could probably eat every day and not get sick of it. It was that good! However, I did not take any pictures so you will have to imagine its yumminess. Have a fabulous Monday and congrats to my friend Melissa who had a baby last night, Chase. It's getting to be quite the club, the friends who have kids club. Good luck and best wishes to her, Brian and new baby Chase.

They look good to me! But I like anything chocolate (except when mixed with orange). I'm slacking on my cooking/baking these days. I meant to make multigrain bread this weekend, but slacked off. I'll do it next weekend.

And thanks for the baby news...congrats to Melissa!

Carrie, I can't find the link, but I can copy the recipe for you out of the magazine!
