Double Chocolate Cookies
Double the chocolate – double the fun – of course!!! You see I have these chocolate drops in the fridge. It’s not like I need to use them up, I mean after all there is always a place for chocolate drops (I like to take a pack with me to the cinema.)
However, I do need to bake some double chocolate cookies and there is no better time than when I have a ready made pack of chocolate drops in the fridge. (Just in case you need it I’ve put the recipe for dark chocolate orange drops below.)
These double chocolate cookies are super easy to make – you literally need one bowl mix it all together, bake for 10 mins and tah dah!!! They are always welcome in my house and taste even better than shop ones! This is a basic double chocolate super yummy cookie but feel free to mix up the flavours.
Really add anything you fancy along with the chocolate drops – hazelnuts, brazil nuts, orange oil, mint flavouring (just make sure you make mint chocolate drops for this one!!!!).
Oooooo I just thought that a black forest version of this would be pretty awesome too (I’ll try that out and post the recipe!!!) These cookies are literally melt in your mouth delicious. Perfect………………..anytime.
