The Dark Silencers {Double Dark Chocolate Cookies}

My husband dubbed these the “Dark Silencers” because it makes him stop talking when he is eating them. I mean, they are pretty good, but because they are so easy to make, I feel a bit guilty. I feel like something that tastes that good should take me hours. However, it doesn’t. In fact, it takes less than 30 minutes to make these goodies. So, whip out the KitchenAid and your chocolate face and get-to baking these cookies! And, be sure to give some to the neighbors 🙂

The Elements:

1/2 cup of butter
1 cup of granulated sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup flour
1/2 cup dark chocolate cocoa powder (I use Hershey’s)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup milk chocolate chips

love + marriage + baby

First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes girl with a baby carriage!

13 weeks 5 days

Uh … that happened to me. In April 2009, we fell in love. In November 2010, we got married. In July 2012, we discovered that we were having baby.

So, this is our story. Our story of being married and the lessons that we learn, the pregnancy and it’s highlights, my new found passion for baking + cooking, my attempt to display the DIY projects as I try to make our home a home, and eventually the adventures of parenthood! Let’s do this!
