The Best Dang Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

The Best Dang Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

Now, don't get me wrong, I'm sure there are tons of Double Chocolate Chip Cookie fans out there, but until today, I just didn't understand the obsession. I LOVE chocolate, but it just seemed like too much chocolate...until today. I wanted to make the perfect companion cookie for ice cream, and with the whole 'ice cream sandwich' idea goin' on, I decided to make double chocolate chip cookies, which I've never ever done before. When they came out of the oven, I expected them to be just like any other double chocolate chip cookie that I've ever had, so I took just a small nibble (just to be sure there was no commitment or anything). But once I had one nibble I just couldn't stop! They were different than other forms of this cookie that I'd had before, suddenly this whole 'double the chocolate' idea was seeming appealing, and even, delicious. So I fell in love today, with something that I'd already rejected time and time again. I guess a new recipe and slighty different ingredients can make a whole lot of a difference.

P.S These cookies are to die for when served with a refreshing glass of milk or a dish of your favorite vanilla ice cream
