Awesome Double Chocolate Cookies

When you’re looking for a special chocolate-y treat that will speak directly to your soul…..look no farther, I’ve got you covered. Chewy, chocolate-y, soft, perfect!

I have my niece Aurora to thank for introducing me to these magical cookies. She made them for a reunion this summer and I innocently grabbed one not knowing how amazing they were. I should have grabbed the entire container and saved myself the multiple trips back to get just one more….

Who knew an innocent chocolate cookie could be so delicious!

These cookies have the power to make even the most annoying child look cute again, the dirtiest house to just look lived in, and they can even make an eight year old practicing their recorder sound like Mozart. Seriously there isn’t anything that won’t look 100 times better when you have one of these cookies in each hand.

The best part is they are made from the most basic of ingredients and I’m sure you have them all in your cupboard right now.

And the dough, may or may not be even more delicious then the baked cookies….not that I would suggest eating something with raw eggs in it.
