I made a cacao nib cookie recipe today that i found on the spice house website. i cooked the recipe at 375 for 10 minutes as instructed, but the cookies are much darker than thought they would be (not burned, but dark). i am wondering if i’ve overcooked them? i think when cookies get too dark they lose some flavor… but at the same time if you want them to be crunchy you almost have to get them dark otherwise the centers stay chewy. thoughts? the recipe i used is here: http://www.thespicehouse.com/recipes/cacao-nib-drop-cookies-recipe

I saw those nibs in the new Whole Foods in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. I wondered what to do with them but now I do… btw, that new WF was outta this world! It was AMAZING! Now mind you, we have a new WF, too, in Fairfax, VA which I thought was a site to behold — floor space is just about the size of a small Costco with at least five sit-down counters (seafood, sushi, cheese, bbq, heat n’ serve), an Asian cuisine buffet that has a section for a whole dinner based on Mario Batali recipes, pizza bar, a HUGE salad bar, coffee bar, AND gelato! The WF in the LES was similar but they made the pizza’s into ovals, had a HUGE candy section with chocolate I’ve never seen before, gelato, and a HUGE dessert section with pies stacked on the wall. WF is really stepping it up these days. Next time I’m in Powell, I’ll have to get over the to Jennie’s and the WF in Dublin just to check it out. Thanks for the cookie idea!

Your cookies look great – I have to say that, you made the same ones as me!! And, I’m happy to report that mine looked the same! I love the idea of sandwiching them with ice cream though, elevates them from being just cookies to being awesome cookies and ice cream!

I see a visit to Columbus coming really soon, the ice cream shop sounds very interesting. I love the macaroon sandwich and with the salty caramel, swoon is right! Your cocoa nib cookies look very good! I will have to find some nibs soon!
