Nothing except some sore ribs from laughing so hard at the comment of the last
"customer" of the evening. A stocky kid in a pirate costume who didn't give a
quick "Thanks, mister" and run to the next house to extort treats from the
residents there. This one felt the can of brewski hit the bottom of the sack
and looked in to see what he had - something that hadn't happened all evening.
Then he looked up and gritted out, in a gruff little Frog Millhouse voice, "You
broke my f***ing cookies!" and stomped off down the walk.

      Title: World Peace Cookie
 Categories: Cookies, Desserts, Snacks, Chocolate
      Yield: 36 servings
 
  1 1/4 c  All purpose flour
    1/3 c  Natural unsweetened cocoa
           - powder
    1/2 ts Baking soda
     11 tb Unsalted butter; room temp
    2/3 c  (packed) golden brown sugar
    1/4 c  Sugar
      1 ts Vanilla extract
    1/4 ts Fine sea salt
      5 oz Extra-bittersweet chocolate;
           - not over 85% cacao, chop'd
           - to less than 1/3"
 
  These intense, ultra-rich cookies are a dark chocolate
  lover's dream.
  
  Sift flour, cocoa, and baking soda into medium bowl. Using
  electric mixer, beat butter in large bowl until smooth but
  not fluffy. Add both sugars, vanilla, and sea salt; beat
  until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add flour mixture; beat just
  until blended (mixture may be crumbly). Add chopped
  chocolate; mix just to distribute (if dough doesn't come
  together, knead lightly in bowl to form ball). Divide dough
  in half. Place each half on sheet of plastic wrap. Form each
  into 1 1/2-inch-diameter log. Wrap each in plastic; chill
  until firm, about 3 hours. DO AHEAD: Can be made 3 days
  ahead. Keep chilled.
  
  Preheat oven to 325oF/163oC. Line 2 baking sheets with
  parchment paper. Using thin sharp knife, cut logs crosswise
  into 1/2"-thick rounds. Space 1 inch apart on prepared
  sheets. Bake 1 sheet at a time until cookies appear dry
  (cookies will not be firm or golden at edges), 11 to 12
  minutes. Transfer to rack; cool.
  
  DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Store airtight at room
  temperature.
