It’s been awhile since I’ve posted for Tuesdays with Dorie; four months to be exact. I wasn’t planning on baking this week’s assignment either for fear of unintentional snacking on leftovers. However, my friend (Codename: Candelabra) was in town, so I was able to pawn these treats off on her and the Fort Wayne breast cancer center nursing staff, including Candelabra’s O.R. scrub tech/navigator (Codename: Cilantro)!
The few cookies I did sample were soft, velvety, melty, and decadent, similar to a moist and silky brownie. Actually, Candelabra has coined these cookies “C. Webb cookies” because they’re “super chocolatey and delicious” like the former Michigan “Fab Five” member/former NBA All-Star/current NBA on TNT commentator, Chris Webber:
(That last photo was to show you C.Webb’s humor.) Whatever these cookies are called, it’s a smart idea to have plenty of friends around lest you be tempted to eat them all yourself. Which you will! If you’d like to try your hand at these double chocolate cookies or “C. Webb cookies”, pick up a copy of Baking with Julia: Savor the Joys of Baking with America’s Best Bakers and join the bi-monthly baking group, Tuesdays with Dorie, where we choose recipes to collectively bake each month!

All that chocolate has my attention! Sounds delicious, whatever you call them. Glad they went to a worthy friend.
Nov 19, 2013 @ 11:29:18
they look luscious – I wouldn’t be able to resist them either!

Too funny! But I do appreciate the art of figuring out just when it’s safe to bake, leftovers-wise.
Nov 19, 2013 @ 11:38:09
Yummy!
Nov 19, 2013 @ 11:38:32
I love cookies! I made some double chocolate sometime ago that we’re made with olive oil and they were good. Yours look very similar. Have a great day. Andi

Just in time for the arrival of cold weather; an excuse to put on the oven and a better excuse to make something delicious.
Nov 19, 2013 @ 12:00:03
Welcome back, Yummy Chunklet.
These were fantastic cookies – rich! rich! rich! … and unfortunately: rich! The only way to get them out of my sight was to deep freeze them… :-)
I was born with a mouth full of sweet tooth and I am constantly fighting with my “voice inside” :-) – this time, the double chocolate cookies won!
Nov 19, 2013 @ 12:22:28
Having friends around is the best thing for eating these cookies, I totally agree!!
Nov 19, 2013 @ 14:37:20
Chocolate anything is good, double chocolate anything is even better.
Nov 19, 2013 @ 14:38:36
I’ll take the cookies, you take the dudes.
Nov 19, 2013 @ 14:47:27
So glad you didn’t skip these. You spread a lot of joy with your donation! I split these up between my sons and got them out of the house. They want more :)
Nov 19, 2013 @ 15:02:56
Love double chocolate, the cookies look delicious.
Nov 19, 2013 @ 15:33:20
I LOVE Chris Webber! I enjoyed looking at your photos.
Nov 19, 2013 @ 15:49:02
These were really, really good! I pawned some off on friends, too, but i kept enough so as not to have any regrets.
Nov 19, 2013 @ 16:56:57
I would be tempted to eat them all myself :)
Nov 19, 2013 @ 17:12:51
Great looking cookies.
Nov 19, 2013 @ 18:24:10
Welcome back! :)
Nov 19, 2013 @ 18:54:10

Nov 19, 2013 @ 19:03:50
These really are dangerously good cookies!! Glad you made them!
Nov 19, 2013 @ 19:25:44
I love your friend’s description of the cookies! How funny!
Nov 19, 2013 @ 19:26:39
I sent most of the cookies into work with the husband. I intended to take a few to a friends husband (she being gluten free), whom we were having dinner with, but we ate them up before we made it to dinner. They were that good. Glad you did not miss out on these!
Nov 19, 2013 @ 19:28:06
yuuuuum! what a perfect dessert!
Nov 19, 2013 @ 20:21:45
I have been making cookies like crazy the last couple weeks. Double Chocolate Cookies sound wonderful.

Dreamy. And I’m not talking about the cookies.
I just read a book about civil war spies, and now I think everyone deserves a codename. My mind is spinning with possibilities…
Nov 19, 2013 @ 21:10:51
Love these cookies:)
Nov 19, 2013 @ 21:11:29
If I were around you wouldn’t have to pawn them on me. I’d happily grab them from your hands!
Nov 19, 2013 @ 21:53:22
oh who in the world could resist those! Oh delicious indeed
Nov 19, 2013 @ 22:05:10
I think I would eat the lot!
Nov 19, 2013 @ 22:30:50
i’m craving on it now!
Nov 19, 2013 @ 22:39:08
that looks very good !
Nov 19, 2013 @ 22:43:00
LMFAO!!!!!!!!!! I will forever call my salmon fillets, Derek Hough Salmon… Because I could eat Derek Hough up until I am sick to my stomach, LMFAO!
Nov 19, 2013 @ 22:54:34
Lol. Didn’t he play for Sacramento? I had no idea he had a second life. I loved these cookies. I pawned mine off at work or I would have eaten them all myself.
Nov 20, 2013 @ 00:05:19
I admire that you plan ahead to give your cookies to friends! I must adopt your approach, especially this time of year! Double chocolate–what’s not to really love! :-)
Nov 20, 2013 @ 02:06:05
I need these cookies in my life!
Nov 20, 2013 @ 02:11:39
Double chocolate….I have to make some of these…delicious:)
Nov 20, 2013 @ 02:20:12
I had to bring them into work or else I would have been been in a chocolate coma! They were good!
Nov 20, 2013 @ 02:57:24
I love chocolate cookies! Especially when they’re as big and chocolatey as the ones in that photo! So many chocolate cravings right now.
Nov 20, 2013 @ 03:50:52
LOL – I love that your friend dubbed these after C Webb. They look delicious.
Nov 20, 2013 @ 05:02:53
Yummy, pls send my love to Candelabra!! =)
And I’ll take C. Webb AND the cookies, please. Thank you. On a very larrrrge plate. LOL!
Nov 20, 2013 @ 05:24:54

As a chocolate fiend, I don’t think I could resist anything that has “Double Chocolate” before it. These cookies sounds like pure heaven.
Nov 20, 2013 @ 20:01:49
How could anyone resist a chcolate chip cookie let alone a ‘Double chocolate Chip Cookie”!! Those looks delicious…
Nov 20, 2013 @ 20:36:38
Chocolate cookies are my favorite! Double chocolate is even better ;)
Nov 20, 2013 @ 22:25:43
Wow! These cookies look amazing.. Wish to eat some now dear :-)
Nov 21, 2013 @ 01:43:15
I agree you better have several friends around before you make these as we all have our weaknesses. I am sure they are also chewy too and that my friend is a hard one for me to resist. Take Care, BAM
Nov 21, 2013 @ 10:05:12
I could use one of those today haha. They look scrumptious!
Nov 21, 2013 @ 14:41:31
I have these on my list to make – all the TWD people have said how great they were!
Nov 21, 2013 @ 19:06:56
Yummy!
Nov 21, 2013 @ 19:47:23
I can never turn down chocolate, let alone double chocolate!
Nov 22, 2013 @ 08:14:09
Haha – these “C. Webb” cookies sure do look moist and sinfully delicious!
Nov 22, 2013 @ 18:09:44
Beautiful cookies…they look so decadent and luscious! Have a great Thanksgiving!
Nov 22, 2013 @ 18:30:59
Yum! They look great!
Nov 23, 2013 @ 09:10:25
With a glass of milk, oh yes
Nov 23, 2013 @ 13:23:10
Taking a cue from your strategic cookie distribution, I should make these while I have hungry young men here for the holidays, I definitely won’t have to worry about eating too many.
Nov 23, 2013 @ 22:01:42
Very nice cookies! Yum!
Nov 23, 2013 @ 22:39:45
I’ll have half a dozen of those C. Webb cookies!! xx
Nov 24, 2013 @ 07:06:12
Way to divide the spoils :-)
Nov 24, 2013 @ 12:16:38
Mmmm, double yes please :) !!
Nov 24, 2013 @ 17:01:32
Your cookies look terrific! I have the cookbook but have never made these…that is going to change over the Christmas holidays. Thanks.
Nov 24, 2013 @ 20:14:25
It’s getting late, I’m tired but hungry and I would like one of those cookies right now:)
Nov 24, 2013 @ 20:34:55
The cookies look delicious!
I hope you have had a great weekend.
