Chocolate doesn’t ask silly questions, Chocolate understands!
It’s my daughter’s favorite food, the only food she eats without complaining. Wonder where she got it from! And these Double chocolate chip cookies are her favorite. It is make someone’s cookie day with the Creative Cookie Exchange and I know making these for my daughter is going to make her day.
It all started with a search for that perfect chocolate chip cookie. The rules were simple -more chocolate, less cookie; crunchy outside, gooey inside; and last but not the least it had to be a big fat cookie.
My search landed me on copy cat recipes for Levian Bakery and finally the search had ended. I tried a few of those recipes and settled on this recipe from Christi’s Blog- Love From The Oven.
We substituted part of the sugar with coconut sugar, used Valrhona cocoa powder, dark chocolate chips and we freeze the shaped cookies for about an hour before we bake them. And we don’t usually wait for them to cool down before wolfing down a couple with some cold milk.
