Chewy, moist and loaded with chocolate, you won’t be able to resist these double chocolate brownie cookies!
I am a huge fan of cookies, but, brownies are my absolute favorite. I’m not sure if it’s the chewy texture or the chocolate, or both {most likely both}, but, I will take a brownie over a cookie any day. Unless, of course, it’s a brownie cookie. These double chocolate brownie cookies are just the right amount of moist, chewy perfection. And the melted chocolatey goodness of the morsels melts in your mouth the way rich and creamy chocolate should. In fact, these cookies are so good, I had to take them to work just so I wouldn’t eat them all. Because, yes, I totally would.
The worst part? I’m trying super hard to eat better, drink more water and move more. Notice how I avoided the word exercise? Baby steps, peeps, baby steps. For me, avoiding carbs is like trying not to wear a seatbelt while driving. I feel naked, unsafe, and know I’m breaking the law. It just.isn’t.right. None the less, I have been doing so well at it, that I did reward myself with one, yes, one, of these amazing double chocolate brownie cookies. Because, honestly, if I am going to eat something I’ve been desperately avoiding for the past 4 weeks, you can bet it’s going to be one of these.
