Triple Chocolate Cookies.

Melissa Beene Ford/ Uncategorized

I started out the morning, 4:30am this morning, mind you, just pressing play on my P90X Yoga DVD.

Its not the first time I’ve tried P90X. I start it with the best of intentions on Monday, do fine the first three days, and then…. Yoga on Thursday.

Dear Merciful Heavens.

Are you supposed to feel nauseated? Seriously. I want to throw up. And the dadgum thing is an hour and a half long. Its enough to make me just press pause and ditch the whole P90X thing for another three months. Give or take.

But I tried this morning, ok? At 4:30am.

And I got farther than I ever have, but I’m queasy and nauseated and… just depressed.

Which only sends me running to my happy place: chocolate.

As in… Triple Chocolate Cookies. Oh yeah. Much more fun than P90X.

The Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 11.5 oz bag Nestle chocolate chunks
  • 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

  Preheat your oven to 325*. In a small bowl, whisk together your flour, cocoa, soda, and salt… set aside.
 Then in your mixer bowl, combine your sugar and eggs, beating until smooth.

And lets’s forget Chaturanga…. and take a moment of silence to appreciate the consciousness and self-illumination in this bowl of chocolate.
Ah. I’m feeling stronger and more flexible already! This HAS to be good for you.

Melt half a cup of the chocolate chunks in a double boiler with the stick of butter, whisking until it’s smooth. Hello Mother. I remembered the apostrophe in ‘it’s’ this time. Your welcome.

Heehee. Just trying to make my mom have a stroke, one punctuation error at a time.

But back to the recipe.

 After your melted chocolate and butter mixture has cooled somewhat, add it to the sugar mixture and… mix. Wow, I’m creative with words. Then add the flour/cocoa mixture a little at a time, unless you like wearing it. Then mix it some more until it looks… like… this…. then stir in the rest of your chocolate chunks.
 Take that, Tony Horton.
I like to use a Pampered Chef scoop to make all my cookies uniform size and shape because I’m very meticulous and Type-A like that.
And as always, a Pampered Chef stone is the way to go to keep your cookies from getting to hard and crispy. Soft cookies are what we want.
Bake them for about 10-12 minutes (*I tried 15, and the cookies were too hard), then remove them to your cooling rack.
And after just 90 days of this, you’ll see a whole different body shape beginning to emerge. Guaranteed.

    I've had several yoga teachers tell me that certain poses release different emotions stored in our bodies. I used to think it was a bunch of nonsense, but I buy it now. Hips are the worst, that's where we store grief, especially women. Good luck with it!

    I will do P90X everyday if I can just be rewarded with those cookies everyday. Thanks for sharing that recipe.

    P90X yoga is evil. I hate it &amp; I refuse to do it. Just sub in a different work out instead~ like chiro 🙂 Be a yoga rebel like me but KEEP at the P90X. And send me some of those cookies…<br />LKS
