Cocoa Chocolate Chip Cookies

I love to try out new recipes no matter if they are ones I created in my head, ones I found on-line or in a cookbook. Over the years, I have tried recipes from a lot of chefs, one who seems to match my cooking style is Rachael Ray. As a mother, you've got to appreciate the concept of a 30 Minute Meal! Rachael Ray often says that her recipes are just methods. She encourages her viewers to take her recipes and make them their own. I "Lori-ize" almost everything I cook, tayloring the recipe to my families taste. I decided to combine these two ideas and what you see here is the result. Each week I'll create a meal based on a recipe and let you know what we thought. I will give you the original recipe and let you know how I "Lori-ized" it. Hope you enjoy Tasty Tuesday!

This weekend was crazy, so I decided to make a new cookie recipe to take Tailgating. I decided to make Cocoa Chocolate Chip Cookies

I've mentioned before that when I bake I never make changes the first time. Baking is a science and when you alter the formula recipe you will totally alter the end product.

These were REALLY good. Picture the texture of a perfect chocolate chip cookie, now substitute the yellow cookie for a chocolate one and you've got this cookie! The mini chocolate chips really made it in my opinion... each bite seemed to have the perfect amount of chips in each bite. We brought them tailgating and people from the truck next to us had one and came back to ask for me... he even asked if he could have the crumbs!

Next time I think I may use mint chocolate pudding or maybe even butterscotch. I wish they made peanut butter or butterscotch chips in the smaller sizes, but they don't. I will certainly be making this again.
