Chocolate Cookie Recipe

Double Chocolate Drops

This delicious Double Chocolate Cookie Recipe means my cookie jar is always full. I need loads of cookies for the never-ending stream of neighbourhood kids who come through my home. These chocolate cookies are fairly easy to make and I think it’s the chocolate frosting that the kids love so much.



I love cookies warm from the oven so I try to make them shortly before serving although they can be kept in an air-tight container. Enjoy the aroma of freshly baked chocolate cookies filling your home.Chocolate Cookie Recipe
