Hello everyone!
Have you ever tasted the perfect cookie and then have tried to recreate it? I did. One of the first recipes I have ever tried was the chocolate chip cookie recipe. I wanted them to be chewy and sweet but, after a little confusion with the baking time and the fact that I was insistent on the fact that they must be more toasted, I ended up with dozens of rock-like cookies. You couldn't bite them without losing your teeth.
After that failed experiment, I tried two different recipes but none of them were as chewy as I wanted them so I gave up.
Until now.
I found this recipe in Sally's Baking Addiction's blog and it is SO perfect that I haven't dared to change a thing.
This cookies have infinite possibilities; you can make them with chocolate, dried fruits, M&M's or Smarties, toffee, whatever crosses your mind! If you follow the link above, you will see the delicious combinations she has made on her blog.
I divided the dough in two equal parts and put dark chocolate chips and chopped walnuts in one of them while in the other one I put white chocolate and chopped pistachios.
Totally addictive.

Dark Chocolate and Pistachios Cupcakes
Hello everyone!
Today's recipe is very (very) chocolate-y. I took it from gimmesomeoven's blog but I modified it a little bit. I have added the pistachios and changed the frosting because, as much as I love chocolate, it would have been too rich for some people; so instead of the dark chocolate ganache she did, I have changed it into a mousse.
The results:
What would have been a too-rich ganache -I insist, for some people only- it's been turned into a mousse that contrasts perfectly with the salty pistachios.
