Double Chocolate Chewies

crackly, chewy

These cookies have been on my mind for awhile now. I work in a bakery, and we have been making GIANT batches. They are so simple. They are actually low fat. They taste like a brownie and a meringue made a baby! Oh, and if you care, they are gluten free as well. They're gooey on the inside, and the outside has that thin shattery layer that any good brownie should have. 

In the mood for Pavlova

Since the weather has been so warm this winter, I felt like having something light and summery for dessert. Pavlova came to mind. Thank goodness for greenhouse grown berries! This dessert was really easy to make, and pretty impressive to behold.
