Truly Divine Chocolate Cookies

 

This is a truly divine recipe. I had been in search of good chocolate cookie – the indulgent one and this one will surely satisfy your chocolate craving and with minimal effort. As I mentioned in my previous posts as well, cookies can be of several types. This one is drop cookies and has soft interior and crisp outer. The wonder that addition of white chocolate chip/chunks does is outstanding so though its optional, ideally you shouldn’t skip it. It can be made in 8-10 mins and take same time to bake so you can have these ready in 20 mins. Who said baking is a time consuming task?

 

 

This recipe has yet again been taken from Joy of Baking and the recipes on this site has never disappointed me. You can make ice cream sandwiches with these, enjoy with milk or alone. The dough can be frozen and you can make one inch balls, freeze on parchment paper and once frozen, place in freezer bags and bake as the recipe says.
