In the mood for chocolate? Here you go. These cookies are like mini brownies packed with cocoa and chocolate chips!
I used Nestle Tollhouse chips in Halloween colors to really set off the lovely dark dough. It helps to show how much chocolate is loaded in these babies, too.
There is nothing healthy about these. Nothing. You have butter, sugar, cocoa, and loads of chocolate chips. It’s the first week of October and I have already sabotaged all your healthy eating plans for the season.
Sorry/not sorry.
