Dark Chocolate Cake II
I had a serious chocolate craving... just to give you an idea of how desperate I was for something chocolatey, it's 1am where I am. I don't have any butter on hand which renders my other chocolate cake recipe useless, so I did some browsing and came across this one. No butter. Great reviews. First off, the batter was an indication that this cake was going to be great. I actually reserved a bit and prepared a little ramekin I have and made a single serving microwave cake while the big ones baked in the oven. Wonderfully moist and sweet, very chocolatey. I did follow others' advice to add more cocoa powder (used a little more than a cup) and some more sugar (used about 1 1/4 cup). I made 2 cakes (9" round pans) - one for me and one for a neighbor. I dusted mine with some simple powdered sugar for a clean and simple look. And after 3 - yes, THREE - pieces, I had to log on to review this before I slipped into a chocolate coma. Oh, and I don't really have to worry about cleaning up because the one bowl thing is brilliant. Great recipe - this will be replacing my current chocolate cake recipe. Thanks for sharing.

Cracked Sugar Cookies I
Exactly what I was craving in a sugar cookie. I was up at 1am making these cookies to satisfy my sweet tooth. They were very easy to make and very tasty!

Best Big, Fat, Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie
These are unlike any chocolate chip cookies we have ever had... The color and appearance made them look a bit like those plastic cookies used in photo shoots. Because we wanted to break up the chocolate flavor, we used a combination of peanut butter and chocolate chips. The edges of these cookies were crunchy and shiny. We will continue looking for that perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe.
