Have I mentioned just how happy I am to be back in San Diego? Yesterday, I had lunch with Jennifer Lee of Kirbie’s Cravings and Erin Jackson of San Diego Sugar, SeriousEats, and about a million other things.
and Japanese Kit Kats too!
I can’t say our meal at Pho Xpress was all that great. Apparently our server was from their sister restaruant Pho-really-fucking-urgent, where they’re trained to get you out of the door as quickly as possible. But enduring our frantic mini-man of a server was worth completely worth it. Not only are Erin and Jen great company..they bring treats!
It tasted even better
I’ve been reading about these cookies for about a year now. I only hoped that I would be able to work my way in well enough with Ms. Cravings to someday sample some of the fare. She made it way too easy. I would have paid, stolen, or killed to try these cookies, but all I had to do was show up to lunch.
Thanks again Jen!
If you want to try to make these for yourself (or me), I was told this particular batch was based off of this recipe. Yours might not be quite this good, but if they come anywhere close you’re going to be happy.

Want cookie.
Currently typing a paper about chocolate chip cookies as well……go figure.
Holy.. words cannot express how amazing that cookie looks. Dat chocolate-melting action.. dayum.
Those look amazing!
Was the pho decent at least? I’m actually having pho as I type this. lol
You made the cookies look so good in your pictures. I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Whoa those do look good! And did you have some of those crazy flavored Japanese Kit Kats?
Is it just me, or do I get the feeling like eating these would be akin to sticking a chocolate grenade in your mouth and having it blow up? Man those look good.
Kirbie sure doesn’t hold back on the chocolate! I’m guessing my cookie was roughly 80% chocolate, 20% dough.
Dylan – you should Cite KirbieCravings.com if you want your paper to look legitimate.
Smile – You don’t even know.
Kim – I had the grilled pork Banh Mi. I will say that was good, but there are no shortage of Vietnamese places in SD
Kirbie – You just made the cookies that good, but thank you for the compliment..and the cookies
Chuck – I did.
Adam – That’s a pretty good description actually.
Erin – and the dough was 19% butter…sooo good.
Hmm…. I need to figure out a way to sample these cookies also
Wait is that a WASABI kit kat in the picture? Where did you get that? Want to buy….
Duuuuuuuuuuude. I love when you can tell how much explosive chocolate is lurking inside a cookie based on how lumpy the top is.
You also just reminded me that I have four wasabi KitKats in my desk drawer here at work. Commencing diabetes in 3 . . . 2 . . . 1. . .
