Chocolate Cobbler
Years ago, when we lived in Columbia, Missouri, Chris & I would frequent Mackenzie’s. It was a hidden gem in the midst of a not-so-busy strip mall. Completely unassuming, we walked in one evening for dinner & visited at least once a week for the remainder of our time in Columbia. The aroma of the wood-burning grill alone was enough to keep us returning, but everything from the salad to dessert was dream-worthy! Now, it’s a 2 hour drive to Mackenzie’s. While I think it would be worth it, it’s just not a feasible to travel with the family for dinner. For years, I’ve been recreating their chocolate cobbler & reliving those nights in our twenties. In fact, we prefer to enjoy our dessert at home. All too often I embarrass Chris by asking the server if their dessert is house made. When we’re lucky enough to receive a “yes” response, it’s usually disappointing. I like to make every.calorie.count. This chocolate cobbler recipe does – & of course, it’s unbelievably easy! I like to prep it in the afternoon, refrigerating the dough until dinner is complete & then putting it in the oven for a piping hot decadent dessert.
This recipe inspired my marshmallow & peanut butter cookie cobbler & salted caramel cookie cobbler desserts. I highly recommend you try them ALL!

Oh, I should mention that I like to serve it a la mode? Try custard or salted caramel for fall & peppermint ice cream for winter. Yes, peppermint ice cream. You’re welcome. I frequent the ice cream aisle every year anticipating it’s arrival! I have no shame.
