Robin got a cookbook filled with cookie recipes for Christmas, and from about three and a half minutes after opening it, couldn’t wait to make these cookies. We literally spent the whole day making them. It’s 10:30pm and I just plated them. They did not come out as intended. Turns out this was quite a complicated recipe for an 11-year-old, involving chocolate tempering, fluffing eggs, setting batter, and many, many overlapping steps. Even though they are not what they looked like in the book, it was Robin’s favorite part of the day, and she’s looking forward to eating hers for breakfast in the morning and trying this recipe again.
