World Peace

Buongiorno Sista Friends!

We had a wonderful trip to Italy.  While we had some fab food (especially the seafood in Sorrento), none of the desserts overwhelmed me.  Hence, I do not have a great Italian sweet to share.  Reality hit me hard when I had to return to work on Thursday, so I decided to console myself with some chocolate (even though trying the biscotti you all are raving about was tempting).

I made the World Peace Cookies (p.138) this morning.  I would have blogged sooner, but I decided to make 100 more batches and ship them to Iraq, Iran and all other troubled parts of the world.  We could truly achieve world peace if everyone would eat one (or maybe one dozen) of these cookies daily!

I love the fact that they are done in a "slice and bake" mode -- perfect for the holidays when you want to make them ahead and then easily bake them for a special treat or gifts.  They are VERY chocolaty, and I know that MK will love the salt in them.  Be sure to use the fleur de sel -- I think it makes a difference.  This one is a keeper!

Ciao,

SistaFriend

PS: The biscotti container was purchased in Sorrento.
