I loooove me a good a chocolate chip cookie. And I especially love a chocolatey chocolate chip cookie. It may be possible I like them too much since these cookies are the reason behind breaking my committment to minimize the sweets in my life. Instead of having one, or two – I ate three in one night! And then I went on to the continue the pattern for the next couple nights. They’re gone now, so I can rest. ; )
I found this recipe on Cooking with the Big Dogs and just revised the directions slightly.
Enjoy!
