Raspberry Cookie Tart
Desserts are one of my most favorite things to cook up in the kitchen. I love when friends’ birthdays come around because it gives me an excuse to make something delicious and share it. For my friend Allison’s birthday I chose this Raspberry Cookie Tart. It’s basically a gigantic chocolate chip cookie, smothered in cream cheese, raspberries, and chocolate. Sounds like a happy birthday to me!
So, how’s it taste?
As awesome as it looks! It’s hard to go wrong with a chocolate chip cookie. The cream cheese is sweetened with a touch of orange, then you get a burst of fruit flavor with the raspberries. The drizzle of chocolate was just enough to make it special. For all of the ingredients, it would seem like it would be over-the-top sweet, but it wasn’t. The fruit flavors balance out the chocolate so well. Of course, you could use any berry or a mixture if you like. When I took this to the party and lifted the lid of my carrier, the smell was heavenly. One slice of this dessert and I was hooked. It’s also super easy to make which is always a plus in my book!
