TWD-Mocha Chocolate Chip Cookies

A Pound of Chocolate for your Thoughts

These sound like amazing cookies.  And it seriously calls for a pound of chocolate!  How crazy is that???!!!  And like a good TWD'er I am going to stick to the recipe and make it as written. 
Needless to say (but of course I'm going to), I will be very disappointed if these don't turn out; after all this chocolate.  Have I mentioned there is a pound of chocolate in these cookies?  (and no, not in each cookie)  My chocolate of choice for this little venture is Callebaut and Valrhona. 
Where to begin?

Let's start at the very beginning....a very good place to start!   When you bake you begin with butter and sugar.

Dry stuff.

That chicken did not lay those eggs.....I hope.

Don't cry over spilled Vanilla....unless you are dangerously low on vanilla....waaaaa!

Milk Chocolate.

White Chocolate.

Bittersweet Chocolate.

Bitter and Broken.

Bitter, Broken, Bits.

A threesome never looked so good.

Butter cubed.

Granulated sugar meets butter.

Dark Brown Sugar looking for a little action too.

A Nod to St. Paddy

Two eggs blend in....

Vanilla doesn't want to be left out.

Looking for a little stability; dry ingredients have been called on...

The chocolate threesome was feeling left out so they decided to jump in.

But wait....the cherries want to join in.  I went with cherries rather than apricots.  Thought the cherries would be fantastic with the chocolate.

A perfect blending.

And now time to just chill for a bit...



 

Chocolate overload in 3-2-1........

 

 

 

 

These cookies were indeed amazing!  I loved the mixture of three different chocolates.  And the addition of coffee to the mix is brilliant.  I think we have a winner!  I will definitely be making these babies again.
