Black and Whites

Jac has been asking to make her favorite cookies for a week, 

so when she got home from kindergarten today, we got out all the ingredients and set to work. 

Jac’s favorite part of baking used to be cracking the eggs and rolling the chocolate dough into balls, but she’s decided that is much too messy. 

Today she was all about the stirring (so much stirring and splashing) and rolling the balls in powdered sugar after I did the messy part.

But there are some messes she’s willing to put up with, 

especially if it involves licking the sugar off her fingers or the chocolate from the spatula.

I found the recipe for these in a novel I was reading and thought they’d be fun to try. Everyone else is kinda “meh” about them but Jac loves that they are black on the inside (from melted chocolate chips) and white on the outside, just like the name says.

I’m hoping these freeze well so I can keep them as a treat for Jac  . . . and the rest of us can go back to gooey, delicious, real chocolate chips cookies.
