Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
In this house when something is good it doesn’t last too long. And when I made these double chocolate chip cookies it was pretty hard not devouring them as soon as they come out! These are so decadent that you will definitely need a cold glass of milk near by. After letting them cool for about 5 minutes they are just so deliciously gooey and it’s almost like your eating a mini brownie. If you can possibly let them cool longer say overnight (this was almost impossible) they turn into a crispy cookie perfect for dunking in milk. These will not turn rock hard – let me repeat that – these will not turn rock hard. If you like chocolate, you will fall in love with these cookies, you will start talking like the Cookie Monster, “yum,yum,yum” and your eyes will roll around just like his when you take your first bite!
Let first say that I really don’t like making cookies mostly because I have no patience, all that waiting for them to cool down is for the birds. A couple of weeks ago I made some regular chocolate chip cookies – which were also very good, and now that I think about it… they were more than just regular!! I would have posted the recipe but we ate them so fast I didn’t get a good picture of them, and all that means is that I have to make them again – everyone is this house will be happy!
Back to the double chocolate… I wanted to make a chocolate cake, but decided on cookies because I got lazy all that cooling, making frosting, layering, and frosting just seemed like too much work to do on a Sunday afternoon. Not to mention I ate like a pig and all I wanted to do is sit on the couch and watch HBO. So the cookies won! These were so easy to make, and not as much work as I thought so I will be making these again. Not by choice, my Husband loved them so much he wants me to keep them in stock!
