Orange Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Yesterday was warm in the mitten, and it was the best day! I rode my bike all over town and carb loaded pizza-style with beers. It made me excited for summer. I have picnics and post-picnic cookies on my mind. I’m totally going to be making these cookies this summer. I love them! They’re basically chocolate chip cookies with some citrusy subtlety. Since orange and dark chocolate are one of my most favorite combos I…

Dark Chocolate Sorbet

I doubted chocolate sorbet before I ever met it. I’m a total fool. I was afraid that since it has skim milk instead of cream it’d be icy and ridiculous. It turns out that it’s creamy and ridiculously good. It’s for the serious chocolate lover. It’s for me. I couldn’t wait to use my ice cream maker, so on Christmas, I put the bowl in the freezer and immediately looked through my cookbooks for a…
