Couple of years ago, when I was traveling around the Yucatan with some friends, we stopped overnight at a sleepy little town. The place we stayed at served us these chocolate cookies that were to die for. The lady who made it for us, an American who was spending the summer there, ignored all our not-so-subtle hints to share the recipe with us. The cookie was served warm and was chewy with a soft but crumbly texture. My friends and I still talk about, and all my attempts at trying to recreate it failed.
That is, until now.
My jaw just about dropped when I took my first bite of the World Peace cookie. Woohoo! This was it! I feeling like shouting and singing from the rooftops! Woohoo! Thanks to Dorie (and to Jessica of cookbookhabit), I now have my Yucatan chocolate cookie!
I'm off to make another batch. This time, I'm going to add some chili powder to the mix. Oh, happy day. :-)
