Join me on GHL Mondays + Fridays Tune-in Create TV 8AM + 2PM

As great addition to any cookie platter. Plus, a chocolate treat in under 30 minutes - mixing and baking. But can you wait 24 hours? Probably not, but just save a few because these cookies actually taste even better a few days after baked. Eyes-go-wide open on the first bite. Try my recipe for yourself and you'll agree. For best results use a good quality cocoa.
