Brad requested chocolate chip cookies again. Having been reminded myself of how delicious they are, I couldn’t refuse. But I could do a little experiment with an ingredient I’ve been wanting to try.

Experiments in Chocolate Cake: No Perfect Peaks
This was originally posted on my other blog, What If. I’m moving it – and all of my baking posts – here in the next few weeks.

Chocolate Chip Mountains – An Update
The last recipe I posted for the chocolate chip mountains was entirely experimental and a little convoluted. This is the simplified, perfected version and it was a big hit at Christmas – especially with my father-in-law, who loves cookies so much, he hides them so no one else will eat them. (I provided him with his own little batch, of course).
Making Mountains Out of Chocolate Chip Cookies
I have a recipe for amazing chocolate chip cookies that also happen to be low-fat.
And I have a recipe for “Snow-capped Mountain” cookies that taste incredible too.
So in a little fit of nostalgia for the mountains I grew up near, I decided to combine the two.
