I baked and brought these in to work. Without knowing what they were called a coworker went a snackin'. His comment? "It's like eating a chocolate covered strawberry". Mission accomplished Caramella Girl :) These cookies are great, with or without the chocolate dip. I will certainly make these often.

I love being in the kitchen. I probably should have went to culinary school (there's still time, right?) because I love food and experimenting with ingredients. I also like making variations of classic meals.
