I had a reunion with my friend Kelsey for the first time in two years!! She’s off doing her doctorate in the United States, so we don’t get to see each other too often. Back in high school we used to love having baking dates, so some sort of baking was high on the reunion priority list! I made these cookies earlier this summer, but I had made them as cookie sandwiches. I almost felt like they’d be better as just cookies, since they had such an excellent flavour that was somewhat overpowered by the icing. I used milk and dark callebaut chunks to be fancy! The first batch was overbaked thanks to my deplorable oven, but the second turned out quite well. The original recipe can be found here.
