Misery Cookies

At some point or another all of my friends run into hard times. Whether it is a pet dying, bad grades, or something worse, I always have a meal on hand ready to help cheer them up. For example my fiance needs some kind of homemade chocolate to put a big smile on her face. I like to bake her a huge extra dark chocolate brownie batch.

Recently, one of my friends has been going through a hard time, and I happen to know that she loves chocolate. I decided that it was time to come up with a recipe to put a smile on her face. Quadruple Chocolate Toffee Peanut-Butter Chip Cookies. These cookies are not for the faint of heart by any means.

One thing that makes them quadruple chocolate is the addition of cocoa nibs. Cocoa nibs are small bits of cocoa bean that have been roasted. Cocoa nibs are probably my favorite type of chocolate to cook with. I like the crunch they add to the dish, and the expression on peoples face as they try to figure out exactly what they are.

As with all of my recipes I suggest modifying it to work for your purposes. Normally I cook my cookies on a baking stone, so you may need to change the temperature and or time if you do not have a baking stone available to you. These cookies are of the chewy variety, if you prefer a softer cookie try decreasing the fat content.
