Chocolate Valentine's Day Cookie |
Happy Valentine's Day!! Although the main star of my Valentine table this year is a delicious red cherry pie, I couldn't let the day go by without baking at least something that is chocolate. This is a recipe that I have been wanting to share for awhile since it is a definite family favorite and so much fun to make. It is originally from a web site that my husband's first cousin works on, although I have changed a few things around in the recipe and made three other versions of it as well. I have always wondered how to make a giant cookie that would bake evenly and this treat definitely solves that problem. While slightly more like pizza dough than cookie dough, this tastes amazing while being high in fiber and low in sugar and fat. It is really fun to work with and can be made into any shape you want. The double chocolate version is my favorite, but I have also made plain chocolate chip, peanut butter oatmeal chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin versions. The recipes for those and a few extra photos are included below. xoxoxo
