World Peace (or lack thereof) Cookies

There's not much to be said about these cookies that hasn't already been said. If you Google "World Peace Cookies," you'll find that every baking blogger and his/her mother has made these cookies, loved them, and can't stop making them.



And these are indeed so very good. Especially frozen. Chilled, there's a snappy crunch to them that then quickly gives way to the sandy, melt-in-your-mouth texture that everyone expects from a shortbread/sable cookie. Add the little melting moments that are the chopped dark chocolate that ripple through the cookie, and you have everything you need for a chocolate fix with an elegant flair that demands a cup of tea to accompany it.



Since it's been published all over the Internet, I won't waste more virtual space with another rendition of the recipe, but instead will direct you here for a humorous commentary on the cookie's name and a printable recipe (link to print version is at end of the recipe).

The dough is quick to put together but needs a bit of chilling time. But then you have a log of delectable cookie dough at your disposal to save you when you need a chocolate fix. Or, as I do, slice and bake the batch of them and FREEZE. THEM. ALL. And then when you need a chocolate fix, just dig one (or several) out of your freezer and devour.




Maybe world peace can be achievable with the advent of this cookie because everyone will be too busy eating these cookies to remember what they were fighting about.....
