Chewy Chocolate Raspberry Cookies

I follow PostSecret on Twitter, Frank posted a link to the following recipe there. It sounds delicious.

1/2 cup raspberry preserves
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flower
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Lightly grease cookie sheet.
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the raspberry preserves, sugar,
canola oil, vanilla, and almond extract.

In a separate mixing bowl, sift together the other ingredients. Add
the dry to the wet in 3 batches, mixing well with a fork after each
addition. When you get to the last batch, you may need to use your
hands to work the batter into a soft and pliable dough.

Roll the dough into walnut-size balls and then flatten them with your
hands into 2 1/2 -inch-diameter disks. Place on a cookie sheet 1/2
inch apart. Bake for 10 minutes.

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Transfer to a cooling
rack to cool completely. Enjoy!

Not Me! Monday

Earlier this week my daughter started running a fever in the middle of the night, being the wonderful mother that I am, I would never dream of hiding the meds in some pudding. Nor would I ever eat ALL the left over pudding, thus forcing me to make another batch up for her. Twice . This weekend while my kids were visiting their uncle (who is on leave from Afganistan) I certainly did not go out to eat after church with two families who had all their kids in tow. Furthermore, I was not ridiculously excited when I found out that we were going to Old Country Buffet and that OCB now had a slushie machine. I certainly would never eat a ton of food and then stuff myself even more simply b/c the cake on the dessert bar looked amazing. Additionally, I did not toy with the idea of going back to get a mousse that looked really good despite the fact that I was ready to burst. After eating I did not volunteer to walk the two boys over to guitar center so that the three of us wouldn
