If there is anything I love, it’s a warm muffin topped with butter. If there is anything I love more than that, it’s a warm muffin topped with butter and studded with melty chocolate chips. And if there is anything I love even more than THAT? It’s a muffin, with the butter and the […]

  How you do judge a cookie’s success? Mine get tested and approved by a very persnickety five-year-old, who likes to throw around words like “bestest”, and “goodest”, and “totally awesome.” A new one got thrown into the mix today when I tried these Flourless Chocolate, Almond and Coconut Cookies shared by Courtney.
