vegan rocky road cookies!

i may have revoked my promise to myself to only make healthier desserts. which i will also be breaking tomorrow since i'm doing a valentine's day dessert - but nevermind all that.

so, a few days ago i made rocky road cookies from 'vegan cookies invade your cookie jar,' and i believe they are the least healthy cookies i have made from the book so far (we're not including the pecan bars here, since, you know, they were bars. totally different.)

anyway. these rocky roads totally taste not healthy. delicious. i think its because of this:



yes. chocolate. its all my fault.



see, there was a snowstorm, and my urge to make happy snowbound cookies overcame me. getting to the grocery store wasn't possible, but dark chocolate bars at the corner store were. which i think may be more decadent than chips. plus the fact that the dough contains half a cup of cocoa powder and real sugar - no syrups involved. oooh - although there were some chopped almonds involved...



as usual, they look very...unappetizing...going into the oven. especially under the crappy flash.



but look how pretty they turn out...mmm. melted chocolate.
