Rick katz's truly-the-best- mocha chocolate chip cookies
Cookies

I have a very funny story about these cookies.I was vacationing in one of my very fav places, Seattle, when I fell in love with "Rick's Cookies" at the newly opened Macrina's bakery. I brought 2 dozen home to Boston with me. It was not until my next year's Seattle visit that a chat with Macrina's owner revealed that Rick Katz was the cookies creator (he and she had worked together in Boston at the famously creative Lydia Shire restaurant, Biba. Rick is still a major talent and owns Picco in Boston's South End.) The recipe had been featured in Baking with Julia, AND I had actually MADE this recipe!! So why hadn't I recognized it, such that I was carting home a few dozen every year?! Well, i had omitted the apricots (I don't like apricots) but, shame on me, I didn't know that they were an invisible flavor in the cookies, but made them wonderfully moist and chewy! So now you know- don't leave out the apricots!!
