Truffles, cookies, oh my

Today I'm making truffles and cookies. I found a little shop here in Sitka that sells a jalapeno chocolate bar. Oh. My. Goodness. Was it hot! Several of us tried to eat a chunk of that chocolate. We couldn't. It's that hot. So, I decided to take the rest of the chocolate bar and dilute it down by making it into truffles with more chocolate and heavy whipping cream. We're at stage one right now. The chocolate is melted and the cream/chocolate mixture is cooling.

Next on the list are cookies. Love cookies. I want to make snickerdoodles. Of course some chocolate chip cookies and a batch of my favorite sugar cookies. When I was growing up the sugar cookies were referred to as Aunt Myrtle's sugar cookies. After losing the recipe I finally found it under Amish Sugar Cookie. I still think of Aunt Myrtle when I make these cookies.

Pictures and links to recipes after they're ready.
