triple chocolate milky way cookies

^^^ for serious chocolate lovers only ^^^

i first found the milky way cookie recipe here
and have already baked them three separate times!
each time, the cookies have been a hit - 
i have to tell you, i am absolutely 
and completely inept in the kitchen.
however, these cookies (as they are primarily various chocolate morsels)
are really quite simple.

prep time: 15 minutes
cook time: 10 minutes

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ingredients:

1/2 cup butter, softened
6 tbsp cocoa powder
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar

1 egg
1 and 1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup milk chocolate chips
1/4 cup white chocolate chips 
1/2 cup chopped milky ways

instructions:

1. preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. grease baking sheet or line with parchment paper.
3. in small bowl, mix cocoa powder and vegetable oil until it appears "melted" in consistency.
4. with mixer, soften butter, and mix in brown and white sugar. beat until combined.
5. add in cocoa powder mixture and egg. 
6. add espresso powder and vanilla extract.
7. in separate bowl, sift flour and baking soda. add into wet ingredients and mix.

a cupcake date

why not?
i chose a pumpkin cupcake, while tom went with the classic, chocolate & vanilla frosting :)
let me tell you, it was the best breakfast ever. and surprisingly filling. 
and i think i might need to go back very soon.
perhaps if i squeeze in a gym-date, i can go back this weekend? mm. 
and since i chose pumpkin, it was comparable to pumpkin loaf or a pumpkin muffin, right? 
totally acceptable.
today i wore this striped maxi. 
so easy and comfortable (especially while sitting on the floor with the babies).
(skirt: old navy, tee: gap, denim jacket: nordstrom, flats: macy's)

the babies exhausted me today, so it is bedtime for this girl.
sleep well! 
xoxo.
