Sounds good, Kylie. I like to use the Marcus Neimann recipe and use white chocolate and macadamia nuts (chopped, but not finely chopped). I have a friend who can't eat regular chocolate but can eat white, so I used to make these a lot to share with her. When not making them to share with her, I would add some dark chocolate chunks.

I made a fresh fruit salad yesterday morning, will eat its leftovers this morn with hot porridge...my hubby likes fruit salad raw, but I like mine cooked hot, so will microwave my portion before adding it to the cereal.
It contains: a large golden delicious apple, 2 small oranges, 1 dark purple plum, red grapes, halved, some fresh raspberries I couldn't resist in the produce aisle, but which are sour, a sprinkling of frozen blueberries. I add several dollops of real maple syrup (store-bought, extracted from maple trees) to sweeten. Hope to provide you with a pic when the porridge is about to be served. It's early now and I'm heading into the hot infrared sauna for a short spell to ease the arthritic pains. (20 mins per day seems to work!)

Whole-wheat pita bread. That's the baking part. I'm also making hummus to go with the pita and crudities. It is date night so the DH is doing the main course and I'm doing the appys. I might make another batch of the s'more cupcakes as well.
In the process of making some challah bread to use for French toast tomorrow morning. May make a couple of baguettes, too. Depends on how the time works out.

This is my GO TO recipe for cc cookies. I add walnuts.
I keep the dough chilled so I get thicker cookies.
Oh, Andy, I LOVE Nieman Marcus cookies. Just too, too yummy.
On another note...the challah is in the oven. Or I should say Mt. Challah. Omigosh! This loaf rose beyond "rising." It's gorgeous.
While it's baking I've got two baguettes ready to form and get ready for the second rise. The timing should work out nicely so that there isn't too much lag time between bakings of each type of bread. The house sure smells good!!!

I too love the NM cookies--sometimes it is pecans, other times macadamia nuts, other times almonds, other times hazelnuts. Just depends on what I have in the house...white chocolate chunks, dark chocolate, dark chocolate with cayenne...just depends. Can't remember when I didn't add something that is not part of the recipe...and it has worked every time. The only problem is they don't last very long. They get gobbled up right away. I also chill the dough and scoop it out as I go...I think it is time I try making vanilla NM cookie dough ice cream...if Ben and Jerry could make a cookie dough-ice cream, why can't I?

I made those Chocolate choclate cookies from "The Chew." right now they are in the freezer waiting to go into the oven. I was thinking on putting a half pecan on each one. I made the scoops and then froze them. Little balls of yummy just waiting to go in the oven.

I took a few out of the freezer and dipped half in sea salt and baked the others without. The sea salt makes such a big difference. If regular table or kosher salt makes a big difference in anything chocolate, then sea salt makes the world go round. I have a salt cellar next to the stove. So I just took out a tablespoon and placed it on a paper towel to dip the frozen dough balls in. I baked them for about 11 minutes. The directions say 10-12 minutes. Perfection. More are going into the oven today. Here's hoping that some of them make it to my daughter's house.
