Chatelaine Magazine has a new weekly contest called “Cooking Club” in which they post a recipe and people make it and then share their pics of the finished product.  I am very glad I participated this week because the cookies are AMAZING.   Madame, two of her colleagues, and my friends next door all agreed!   Here is the recipe for the Chocolate Diablo Cookies .

One modification I made that turned out well was I didn’t have time to bake all of them because My Assistants and I were in a rush to get to the Early Years Centre… so we left the dough in the fridge.  Upon our return I couldn’t scoop it so I rolled it into a log and then sliced the cookies.  I still flattened them a bit per the recipe instructions and they turned out great, better in fact than the first few I did before we left and before the dough had been refrigerated.

Local ingredients?  The eggs, flour, and oil.  The chocolate and cocoa were Fair Trade Organic.
