Chewy Brownie Double Chocolate Cookies
Monday, May 7, 2012
I have a hard time deciding which I like more-- a fresh, hot cookie straight from the oven or little snitches of the dough before they're done. With these chocolatey cookies it won't matter, since both the dough and finished product were amazing! They have a soft yet chewy texture that is reminiscent of a brownie and with double chocolate, they're sure to satisfy any chocolate hankerings as well!
For those of you wondering about my son with leukemia, I thought I'd give a little update here as well. We had been worried that he was going to spend his 17th birthday in the hospital, but the timing between his rounds turned out just perfectly and he got to be home for his birthday. Although that was birthday gift enough for him, he also was showered with cards from all over the country (and world), which turned out to be a fun gift for him as well. He is back in the hospital now for his fourth and hopefully last round of chemo.
