This day is going incredibly well.
Thunderstorms early in the morning, breakfast outside at one of my favourite cute little places in Little Italy, and shopping.
I think I was entitled to purchase a few things for myself because I can’t even remember the last time I acquired a new piece of clothing. So when I got home I was feeling pretty good. Pretty darn good. Good enough to whip up some cookies! Just for fun. And by whip up I mean spend a total of 2 and a half hours making these beauties. Okay fine, to be honest those two hours were chilling time for the dough. Originally I was just going to leave them as is, cute and chocolate and heart-shaped.
But then, I took it to the next level….
I sprinkled on some sugar, busted out my blow torch and caramelized those granules `til a beautiful bronze for that extra crunch. Chocolate? Good. Caramel? Good. Chocolate+Caramel in a cookie? Uh-may-zing. I am debating making a caramel and turning these into sandwich cookies. WHERE’S THE CREAM?
seriously where is the cream…I swear I bought some.
Yeah. That’s what I’m talkin’ bout. Oh, what? you can’t see the caramel? Well then..
LOOK HARDER, IT’S THERE

BLABAOW!
BAM CARAMEL CLOSE-UP!
See it now? Yeah you do. Yeaaaaaaaaah you do.
Those look burnt Tara. You know how I feel about burnt. P.S. can we make something fun on our Ottawa sister visits?
Sam they are not burnt. Deal with it. And yes we can make something fun during visits. Anything at all.
