These midnight crackles may look like little lumps of dough (doesn't that sound appetizing) but they really are quite tasty. I refrigerated the dough and when I took it out of the fridge, it was much too solid to work with. I let it warm up on the counter but alas, it was still hard and crumbly when I tried to form the cookies. I did the best I could, baked up a few and hoped for the best.The best came a day or two later- once the chocolate had fully hit the cookie after some time relaxing on the shelf, these were so good. I ate some for breakfast New Years Day. Obviously, I'm not one for resolutions.
Later I took some more dough, still rock solid, and put it in the mixer with some crushed up white chocolate pretzels and candy cane bits. I beat it up and made some more cookies. Still unattractive but a great mix of salty and chocolaty.
Try the recipe, but don't refrigerate the dough for long! The Recipe.

I scooped mine before refrigerating.
It doesn't matter what they look like, but the taste is great.
I like the idea of the add-ins.
Brilliant idea to add things in! Maybe thats what mine were missing. So glad you continue to bake along with us every week! MUAH
Nice additions! Very festive looking, too! ;)
My dough was so hard, I had to chip away at it. What a pain! Anyway, the cookies are tastier after sitting, in my opinion. :)
wow, yours look fabulously moist and tasty with the mixins! great job and happy 2011 :)
I didn't put them in the fridge at all..and they turned out good!! Nice add ins!!!
Hmmmm, the add-ins sound great! Thanks for baking along with us!
Yum, your mix-ins sound delicious! The dough was so strange, but the cookies are so good.
Taste always trumps looks!
Oooh, your candy version sounds really good!
In a word.
YUM!
Mine were rock hard after 2 days in the fridge - but once they warmed up, quite delicious! Love the add-ins... they needed "something" besides all that horrible chocolate. :)
