Chocolatey Chocolate Chip Cookies

I was undecided between chocolate chip cookies and double chocolate chip cookies so I asked Hubby to choose. He looked at me as if I were crazy. He's a chocoholic (takes one to know one) so he was shocked that I even asked because the answer was so obvious. In all honesty, I just needed someone to blame for all the chocolatey goodness that I knew was about to ensue. 

These cookies were awesome and everyone enjoyed them. I heard lots of ooohs and ahhhhs with every bite. Love it! Now I can point a finger and say, "He made me do it!" Yup. It's all Hubby's fault. ;) I'm warning you. These cookies are rich and super chocolatey. I added too many a lot of chocolate chips so I wasn't sure if the cookies would actually hold together but they did. Decadent, delicious and dangerous, for sure! Yuh-uhhh-UMMMM!!!

Mmmmmmm...chocolate.......

Chocolate overdose...the BEST!
(drooooooool)
