TWD - Chocolate Chunkers

This week's recipe is exactly the way it sounds - chunks with chocolate. Claudia of Fool for Food chose this recipe. (yes, it's in German)



Nuts, chips, chunks, and fruit all made their way into this cookie. I subbed Craisins for raisins (raisins and chocolate just don't go together in my world) and used toasted pecans, although Dorie suggested salted peanuts. I love my pecans, but I really think the peanuts would have been great in this. Next time I'll cut down on the fruit or leave it out entirely, and put in more nuts. I could barely discern the semi-sweet chips and milk chocolate chunks in the cookie because of the chocolate base.

I was really looking forward to these cookies, but they didn't live up to my expectations. They are far from bad I just thought they would be better.

Anyway, my family and friends are enjoying the fruits of my labor...
