NOTES

If you wish, in place of semisweet morsels, use 6 ounces semisweet chocolate, cut into ½-inch chunks.

To toast pecans, place them in a shallow pan in the middle of a pre-heated 350-degree oven for 12 to 15 minutes.

MARJORIE KINNAN RAWLINGS’S CHOCOLATE COOKIES

Makes 25 large cookies

Shortly after I finished work on my chocolate book, we were driving through central Florida and stopped for gas in the town of Cross Creek. I was delighted to see a little sign in the garage office that announced “Homemade Brownies 4 Sale.” The garage man told me his wife baked them fresh every day and the delivery for that day was expected in an hour. We paid for a dozen brownies and told him we would be back. After an hour of driving around in circles, we returned just as the brownies were being delivered. They were drop cookies, not bar cookies. They were unusually good, and certainly worth waiting for. When I asked for the recipe I was told that his wife would not part with it, but his mother-in-law had worked for Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings and this had been Mrs. Rawlings’s recipe. I couldn’t wait to get home to see if it was in Cross Creek Cookery (Mrs. Rawlings’s cookbook). It was. The garage man’s wife had made a change (she added the chocolate morsels), and I added the coffee and omitted the baking powder.

They taste like brownies should: chewy, chocolatey, wonderful. Best of all, they are quick and easy to make, and keep well too.
