Yesterday, I went to see Mission: Impossible-Ghost Protocol. I later was tweeting about how Tom Cruise is bat crazy, but still full of hotness. That smile!!
The lovely Missy (hi Missy!) said that Tom doesn’t do it for her. She’s more of a Ryan Reynolds type of gal.
So, it begged the question. Who are my top 5 actors that I drool over?

You know what else is drool worthy. These cookies.
Rolo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies
Recipe slightly adapted from Baking with Basil
Makes about 24 cookies
Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
14 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 egg
1 egg yolk
1 cup dark chocolate chips
1/4 cup chopped Ghirardelli Intense Dark Toffee Interlude chocolate
24 Rolos
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
Whisk together the flour and the baking soda in a small bowl. Set aside the bowl.
In a skillet, melt 10 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes. For 1-3 minutes more, stir melted butter constantly until butter is golden brown with a nut smell. Pour melted butter into a mixing bowl. Add the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter into the melted brown butter. Stir until all butter is melted.
Add the sugars, salt, and vanilla extract to the bowl with melted brown butter. Whisk until combined. Add the egg and the egg yolk to the wet mixture. Whisk for 30 seconds. Let the mixture sit for 3 minutes.
Whisk for another 30 seconds. Let the mixture sit for another 3 minutes.
Again: Whisk for another 30 seconds. Let the mixture sit for another 3 minutes.
Once again: Whisk for another 30 seconds. Let the mixture sit for another 3 minutes. Wet mixture will now be smooth and shiny.
Add the dry ingredients mixture to the wet. Stir until combined. Add the dark chocolate chips and chopped dark chocolate; combine.
Place the dough in the refrigerator for about 20-30 minutes.
Measure out a heaping cookie scoop full of dough. Place a Rolo in center of dough. Use your hands to cover the Rolo with dough and roll into a ball. Place rolled ball on prepared cookie sheet.
Bake one tray of cookies at a time. Bake for 9-12 minutes until edges are golden brown. Cool cookies on a wire rack.
Enjoy these cookies while watching a movie with your favorite movie star!!!
Who’s your favorite drool worthy movie star???
Ryan Reyonlds…..yyyuuuummmm, Matthew McConaughey….yyyuummmm! Now you have me drooling over more than just cookies! And these cookies look amazing!
Ha I was drooling over picking the pictures of each one of them. It’s a tough job, but someone had to do it. 😉
Fabulous choices and the cookies look divine also. Happy New Year.
Haha! Love it! MMMM I love the cookies, the pic of Ryan Gosling….OMG! And the link back to my blog….you are SUCH a sweetie!
We bloggers have to stick together!!! 🙂 🙂
LOVE the cookies! And LOVE LOVE LOVE Ryan Gosling 😉 Happy New Year!
You have good taste, Tiffany. 😉
I agree with Matthew McConaughey and Clooney. I’d also add Antonio Banderas. He’s amazing.
I love caramel. Never been a chocolate fan, but wrap it around caramel and I’m in love. These look fantastic.
At first I thought I was reading the wrong thing when I saw all the gorgeous man photos. Ryan Reynolds is my favorite. I could watch him all night with a cookie in my hand.
If only we could get him to feed us cookies! 😉
Those actors are nice and all, but your cookies are what is making me drool!!
The cookies look great as well as Ryan Reyonlds!! 🙂
Oh man, these look awesome. That is such a good idea! Cookies are always better when stuffed, but I especially like that you chose Rolos.
What varied tastes you have! I think my hormones must have calmed down in my old age (oh wait, aren’t we the same age? I’m prematurely aging! aaa!) because I just don’t get turned on by hot men any more. Or maybe it’s just because I only have eyes for Dennis. I’ll go with that one. For a long time, I was OBSESSED with Hugh Jackman. Like high school girl obsessed. I printed pictures. Made a scrap book. It was bad. I can’t believe I just admitted that! aaa! My other top picks would be Brad Pitt and Matt Damon. As for the cookies, oh snap! Now cookies like this will always turn me on. 🙂
Hahahaha…..I was a bit obsessed with Carson Daly back in the day when he hosted Total Request Live on MTV.
Well, these cookies look amazing and I love your list and I agree with all those guys, except, I’m not sure about the Rock, lol!
Ha that’s okay. Less competition for me to snag him. 🙂
OH my gosh, those cookies look amazing! I think I will add those to the Valentines baking list. I was happy to see Matthew McConaughey on your Drool Worty List.. He is as yummy as the cookies?!
Yum, what awesome bites of deliciousness. I’m talking about the cookies, of course. I have a sweet treat linky party going on at my blog till Monday night and I’d love it if you’d come by and link your cookies up. http://sweet-as-sugar-cookies.blogspot.com/2012/01/sweets-for-saturday-51.html
what a lovely post, handsome men and delicious cookies… perfect
