Chockablock Cookies
For this week's Tuesdays with Dorie selection, my blogger buddy MARY of Popsicles and Sandy Feet picked Chockablock Cookies on page 86 of Dorie's book, Baking: From My Home to Yours.
1. I used pecans, walnuts, dried apricots, dried cranberries, raisins, chocolate chips.
2. Of course, I skipped the coconut strands. Yuck.
3. Oh, molasses. I love molasses.
4. Easy to mix together.
5. Scoop, drop, bake.
6. I got over 50 cookies using a medium cookie scoop (12 on a ½ sheet pan). (continued...)
8. Well, this one is a little darker than the others (different batch). I’ll try that one too. Just to make sure it is okay. I’m thoughtful that way.
9. Antioxidants in nuts are so important for good health. These cookies have nuts? I’m there. Just one more. (continued...)
11. I’m bringing in the cookies the day after I made them. They sat for about 20 hours. I need to have one to see if they still soft and delicious, and suitable for my co-workers. Again, always putting them first.
12. I wonder how these would taste with soy milk? Hum, I’ll just have a nibble.
13. I spent the day checking in on the batch of cookies in the break room...and helping them disappear.
Thanks my friend Mary for a great pick!

Those cookies look irresistible!!
I can't wait give me one bite...
I feel like Princess for a Day today. Thanks for your post. I love your photos so much better than mine..I should have cut and pasted yours in my post :).
They are just like Lays...you just can't have one.
Loved your method for tasting the cookies, "better check this one..." :) This is a great write-up, for a great cookie!
These were totally addictive, weren't they? Totally laughed at all of your "taste tests". I kept saying to myself "just one more" about 10 times the day I made them.
I will make a note in my Dorie's Baking book. They look like a great dessert for the kids lunch boxes. Thanks.
I have had 3 for breakfast--fiber, nuts, dried fruit, must be good for one. We love these.
yum! yours look wonderful!
Agreed, I ate far more than I intended. Yours look fab.
it's so neat, the friendships you can make online. we've got quite the community going eh?
I know! I'm so glad I only saved a few for myself. They could do A LOT of damage! Mad Men starts soon!! :o)
Hehee. I love reading your justifications for eating more cookies!
These were hard to resist. Love your photos!
I love your reasons. They sound so familiar. I may have to memorize a few for my next cookie binge... :-P
They look good and hearty, Im sure they tasted wonderfully! I added trail mix to mine and loved them!
Hahahahaha hysterical hysterical post! I TOTALLY do #11 all of the time. I baked cookies last night to bring to work today, and I had to have one last night to taste, then this morning to see if they were ok, then another one right before I put them out for people to eat! All to test, of course :) Your cookies look great!
What lovely photos. These cookies look fantastic!
Yum these look delicious. I love all the add-ins
Oh I'm loving these cookies!! Beautiful photos!
Your cookies look yummy! I don't like coconut either but added them anyways, I couldn't even taste them - thank goodness!
So thoughtful of you to make sure the cookies were delicious before releasing them at the library! =)
Sounds like great ideas to eat just one more cookie.
Didn't love them, just liked them. But then again I've never been very fond of oats in my cookies...
well, you surely wouldn't want to give your coworkers anything less than perfection! these look great--i could eat 15 myself!
LOL! Great post! I can't resist these cookies too!
They are just full of so many good things, how can you not have another three or four?
can you post snickerdoodles?
Joey #27 - I made snickerdoodles earlier: http://foodlibrarian.blogspot.com/2008/10/martha-stewarts-snickerdoodles.html
I´ve completely ignored this recipe in the book, but I realize I have to try them immediately!
