Chocolate always makes me feel better.
And right now I am in the throws of a horrid cold.
The throat is raw.
The nose is stuffy.
The voice is hoarse.
The sneezes make me run to the loo.
And the chips are secretly glad I can barely speak.
But these World Peace cookies that Jessica of cookbookhabit picked for today’s TWD make me forget all that.
These cookies are salty, chocolaty, and shortbready all at once.Β Β Β Perfection in a cookie.
Forget chicken soup, eat a cookie!
Go check out Jessica’s blog for the recipe.
You’ll feel much better.
I promise.
.
Sounds like you have what I am trying to get over.
Drink lots of fluid, get plenty of rest, and don’t push yourself to get well. It won’t work.
Lovely job! Your cookies turned out beautifully!
Hope you feel better!!!!
I have this recipe and I made these twice before. If I remember correctly they call for some kind of salt that I have never heard of. I think, if I rember correctly, I went out and bought seasalt and used that. What did you use? My son-in-law loves them and is always asking me when I am going to make those world peace cookies again.
Sorry you are sick. π¦ Chicken soup and lots of rest.
Robin~~you use sea salt. I got a can of Morton’s Sea Salt for the boy about 2 years ago.
CC said, “And the chips are secretly glad I can barely speak.” and I say, “me too!” LOL
These look too good to pass up. I will get the recipe and give this a try.
Now on to something more important. Where did you buy those ugly pink roses for your mixer? I need some red ones? Never mind, I’ll email you.
I do hope you feel better real soon. We went through this last week. π¦ {hugs}
Agreed! These are perfect!. Gorgeous pictures, after going through your site, you are really making me want to learn how to use my d70s
Sorry you feel icky, my friend! Feel better soon!
I agree, chocolate cures all ills!!
Your cookies look great!!!!
Here’s another vote for cookies instead of soup. π Feel better!
I hope you feel better. I had a head cold a couple weeks ago. Thanks for your feedback on the range and fridge, but there is no way I’m going to buy a Viking! Unless I win the lotto, of course.
Those photos are excellent! Hope you feel better soon.
Looks beautiful as always. Feel better π
I hope you feel better soon. Your cookies look fantastic. The perfect remedy! π
Feel better! These colds are no fun at all except for the little pleasures we allow ourselves when feeling under the weather.
Hope you feel better soon! Cookies always help. Great photos, as usual!
Feel better soon. Even better, come visit me in Florida next month… Love you….
Hope you feel better soon.
The cookies look delicious. Must one use seasalt or will any ol salt do?
I love these cookies! They’re one of my faves. Yours turned out just great! I love your photos too. Well done!
Sorry to hear you’re under the weather. I hope you feel better soon. π
Sorry to hear you are feeling sick.
Hope you feel better soon. Those cookies should do the trick.
Aw, sorry that you are not feeling well! I am glad that these cookies are making it a little bit better, though. I hope that you get to enjoy them well soon!
Those look fabulous. I’m heading right over to get that recipe.
Sorry about your cold . . .
the healing powers of cookies! they look great, and hope you are all better soon!
I hope you feel better soon and that the scrumptious cookies could make you forget it for a bit.
Kath~~you can use Kosher salt, or sea salt, but regular table salt won’t taste good in them.
These helped me feel better when I was down with the flu. Feel better soon!
Your cookies look amazing! Not easy to pull off when you feel crappy – so good on ya!
Once again, amazing photos. Me want cookies! π
Hope you feel better soon!
What a work of art! I hope you get to feeling better. Where did you get the mixer with such a pretty stand? Sorry, I notice these things. Have a good day!
aren’t you glad that the “loo” is close to the kitchen??? and that it is indoors???
Carolina~~that mixer is my KitchenAid and the pretty flowers are decals from FlameKA.
WOAH! Love the KA decals!! Sorry you’re sick – I just got over it! At least your cookies look delish!!
My fav photo, definitely the mixer too although the dough pic with the hoarseness is pretty comical as well. Sorry, I know with all the words of encouragement you will surely be back to business as normal in no time. What’s not to love about that post? It has chocolate right?
Tell your best friend Hi and not to worry about things that go bump in the night. he he I’m just kidding. Thank you for stopping by.

Beautiful photos… I am jealous of all that gorgeous natural light you get in your kitchen! the cookies look lovely & feel better soon!
Feel better..your cookies rock!
I am so sorry you are sick! That is so miserable.
I want to hear your son’s comment about those logs. HA I can only imagine.
Your cookies look delicious. I love everything about your blog.
LOVE the chocolate pic! I also love how you personalized your mixer, what a great idea! Aren’t they just the best chocolate cookies? Nice job!
Well because of you we are now a Zicam family, in fact after reading your post I went and got some because I have the makings of a doozie of a cold coming on and I do not want it. The boy has been using it of late and it has helped him immensly.
As for these cookies….I think that I’ll be heading over to the linked blog and getting this one!! They do look good and I’m sure they’ll go over well at the retreat this weekend. And if the volcano blows and we have to cancel the retreat I guess I’ll have to force the kids to help me dispose of them. hehehehe
Your cookies look so fantastic!!
Chocolate makes everything better, right? Feel better soon!
Wait a minute!
Is that a flower tatoo on your mixer?? I want one!!
Yes, yes, pretty and delicious cookies…. how did you get such a pretty picture on your mixer?
Hope you’re feeling better soon. Cookies sound so much better than chicken soup. π
What a shame to have a stuffy nose on the day we make World Peace cookies. I hope you froze some of the dough so you can enjoy a *healthy* dose of all that glorious chocolatey-salty goodness.
Figures! LOL LOL LOL
I simply knew it! I knew you wouldn’t have passed on those cookies! LOL
I thought they were the best chocolate cookies I’ve had.
Granted they are far from any gooey, fudgey, almost creamy chocolate cookies we know, but in the end… the saltiness and chewiness of them, is just wonderful.
I thought about you while making them, being sure you’d enjoy them a whole lot!
Very nice step by step as usual, just as great as your cookies!
Yikes…get better soon! Sounds like this cookie was the perfect remedy for your ailment (hopefully with some good hot tea and some good medication). I love this cookie!!
Chocolate is the best cure all. I Love these cookies.
I love all of your photos! And I especially love your mixer applique, so pretty.
I really loved these cookies, too. Maybe Dorie should change the name to “Cure for the common cold cookies?”
I hope you get well soon. I agree these cookies should cure all that ails you.
Lovely photos. Hope you feel better soon!
Feel better soon!
Your cookies turned out just beautifully – I definitely need to make mine a bit bigger next time, having seen yours.
Such fun to come and see what’s cooking at your place each week. Love the photos and the way you do your blog…it’s like art! Your cookies look wonderful…those would be gone in a day here with my guys. You are too funny about your comment on “where are your guys?” I figure everyone must get tired of looking at them each week. I am just not that creative…unlike you!
Perfect cookies, perfect pictures, perfect post!
I’m battling a cold too. And you’re right, these cookies would just about cure it!
Your cookies look great! Mine look like yours before you baked them but yours got a great cookie shape. Nice pics!
I just gained 12 pounds! Thanks a lot!
Sorry, your feeling bad, but glad the Lord gave you some SUN in OH!
I loved these too – i love your photo of the uncooked dough. YUM!!!!
Your cookies are an inspiration! I hope they make you feel better!
Beautiful pictures! What is it about these cookies that makes everyone want to stack them?
They look beautiful. If these can’t cure your cold, I don’t know what will!
WOW LADY! Talk about awesome looking cookies. These LOOK too good to eat. Fantastic job. Gimme me a glass of milk with those! π
Soo much better than chicken soup π Beautiful job, and I hope you feel better soon!
I hope you are better soon Tanya!! You are right about chocolate – it has a wonderful medicinal quality – everything is betetr with chocolate :).
The picture of the sliced cookies has made me a little lightheaded! So good. Sorry about the cold; I had one last week but Zicam pretty much knocked it out.
Nancy
So sorry you are feeling poorly…but I agree, chocolate almost always helps. Your photos are amazing.
OMG!! Your cookies are awesome. I can’t wait until this weekend so I can have some of my own. Now I have to run and find a decal for my mixer! hmmmm
Your photos are always DIVINE, ChocolateChic! I love your posts, because they say so much with the pictures alone. Fabulous job on the cookies!
I just got over a horrible cold, I feel your pain. I hope that the cookies are the perfect cure. They certainly look perfect!
Everyone feels better after eating a cookie! Your pictures are stunning! Hope you feel better soon.
cookie therapy! and chocolate is filled with antioxidants, right? that should definitely help your cold.
gorgeous photos!

If chicken soup is good for the soul, then WP cookies have to be good for a cold. Hope you feel better. If you cannot taste the chocolate, life is lame.
Ah, sick season, good thing it comes right around cookie season.
Glad you liked them. Hope you feel better.
I love your pictures, if only i could take photos like that. Oh and make cookies that look like yours π

Great pictures. What an interesting blog. Now we know that the cookies can cure everything but the common cold.
Feel better..that close up of the measuring cup with sugar: lovely.
Sorry you are sick! I am still working off the cold/flu thing from 2 weeks ago! Your photos are beautiful! These cookies made me feel better that is for sure!
LOVE the photos!!
sorry you’re sick… hope the chocolate helps π nice pics, the cookies look so tasty!
I agree cookies are better than soup.
I hope you feel better soon!
I can barely pour my orange juice when I’m sick, and you can make quite possibly the best looking cookies ever!
As always, your photos are magnificent!
I’m a chocolate, and cookie, FIEND, and these are my all-time-absolutely-favorite chocolate cookie. Keep a roll in the freezer for emergencies…! Get better soon.
your cookies are so nice and rustic looking! i hope you feel better soon!
How gorgeous are your cookies?! The detail and the lighting are so perfect. And the chocolate? Holla! Loved this post, and glad to read the update that you’re feeling better.
