The folx over at Coffeetime were talking about things that go well with coffee, peanut butter apparently taking a top placement. Eeewww. Of all the things that my mouth likes to go with a slurp of coffee, peanut butter isn't one of them. A bite of bacon. A sliver of chocolate cake. A nibble of bagel with cream cheese. All good.
But the best for dunking AND flavor is - hands down, no question about it - the chocolate chip cookie.
Now, chocolate chip cookies are good with tea too, don't get me wrong. But for the best flavor combo, hot rich coffee and crisp chocolate chip cookie, fresh out of the oven, wins my vote for heaven-on-earth via taste-buds.
Quick divergent path - while surfing I happened upon this little cutie - the picture is called Chocolate Chip Dog.
Do you suppose that's the dog's name, or is it some new mini-breed of dog that I've never heard of? I don't know, but isn't that just the cutest face you've ever seen?? Don't you just want to cover her with kisses? Can you tell I'm a dog lover? Accompany this post with all kinds of squooshy ooey gooey pooty wooty dog-mommy noises, and you'll complete the picture. Ok, sorry, back to the regular topics now.
oooo, that cookie recipe sounds so good! I only have one concern -- my horrible habit of eating the cookie dough. When I make a regular batch of chocolate chip cookies, a lot of the dough somehow jumps into my mouth. I'll have to make a batch of your javascript cookies and see how the coffee powder affects the flavor of the dough.

Second batch lasted no longer than the first batch: gone in a flash.
Oh, second batch was modified with... MORE COFFEE!

A dunkin stick? I don't know what that is! I want one! If it's too fattening and too sweet then I'll surely love it. *sigh* Isn't it sad that everything that's good is also bad for us in some way?

The dog is a cutie pie!
I don't know about chocolate chip cookies with tea, hmmm.... nope. But with coffee? yummy.
My favorite thing with coffee is a dunkin stick. You know that ones. Too many calories, too sweet, and really good. *wink*
