Double Chocolate Cookies

I am so backlogged with recipes that when I made these cookies they were for my dear friend, Gina's, baby shower at work. She has since had the babies and they are one month old! So...yeah... I'm a little behind. What can I say!

These cookies were a total hit. I have to say, I've made a few versions of chocolate chocolate chip cookies but these take the #1 spot in my book. They were so soft and rich. They were almost likely pillowy brownie bites. I could go for some of these bad boys right now! I might have to make them again soon.
