Picturing Chocolate & Chipotle Cookies (Holy Mole!)

Here's the recipe for my Chocolate & Chipotle Cookies in process.

Grind the oatmeal and then the graham crackers.

Cream the creamables. This mixture is super tasty: butter, brown sugar, white sugar, cocoa powder, and cinnamon. As Ina Garten would say, "How bad can that be?"

Combine the wet ingredients. Scrambling eggs with one hand and taking a picture with the other hand is harder than you might think.

Combine the dry ingredients. It's funny how such a small amount of chipotle can stand up to so much chocolate and cinnamon and still have a kick.

Add the dry ingredients to the combined creamables and wet ingredients. So chocolaty, so innocent...not!

Scoop, sugar, and bake the cookies. (I forgot to snap the sugaring step, but I think you get the picture.)

What a magnificent pictorial!! You really make it look do-able for us everyday non-bakers.

Thanks, Lorraine. :-)

I've got to figure out a way to photograph stuff in the food processor. Those first two shots are a little too literal...looking straight down on the work bowl.

Lorraine, you're not a non-baker!

I appreciate the compliment! I guess it's hard to see myself as a baker when I don't do it that often. I do love to bake. Now you've inspired me and maybe I'll try some of these recipes during my upcoming vacation.
