Will I be in big trouble if I add more tempting chocolate to your week? I mean, I have posted some healthy stuff this week like the muffins and the bell peppers. I wouldn’t want to be accused of being too healthy or anything, you know? It’s all about balance.
These seem like a good recipe to post today. It’s January and that means for most of you it is probably cold and/or snowing outside and these are perfect for bringing some warmth into your house with their warm chocolatey goodness.
Surprisingly, it’s still pretty cold where I live even though the seasons are opposite. Not really cold cold, but when the sun spends the day hiding behind the clouds you can bet that it will be sweater weather. We joke that we’re South Pole elves now because of our proximity. I love using that as my excuse when I’m feeling cranky or just having a bad day (anyone seen Elf?). My family is loving it though. It’s like dream weather for my radiator of a brother and my 9-months-pregnant sister. I’m the only weird one who is wishing for a little heat.
Okay, it’s always a sign that I’m not in a wordy mood when I resort to talking about the weather. I just can’t think of much to say today. I guess I should tell you about these cookies
I’ve had the hardest time deciding on a name for these delicious things. What do you call a cookie that has every kind of chocolate?
These are possibly going to become the new family favorite around here. They’ve got everything you could wish for in a cookie. They’re sweet but the natural bitterness of cocoa gives them the perfect balance that keeps them from being sickening and leaves you wanting more making them majorly addictive. They have a soft and fudgy texture with just the right amount of chewiness. Then, of course, they are stuffed with not one, but three different kinds of chocolate! I don’t think they could be better than that
I want to tell you that you should try them but I probably don’t need to be the one responsible for giving you such a dengerous recipe. So you really shouldn’t make these. Yeah, definitely do not try this recipe for chewy, soft, gooey, melt-in-your-mouth, chunky, chocolate chip cookies.
You can’t say I didn’t warn you.

Those look amazing! So rich and chocolaty and thick, mmm 🙂
Thanks!
I don’t think you’re in trouble for making these decadent cookies, but I sure am! Pinned! 🙂
Thanks, Jaclyn!
Haha…we are totally on the chocolate at the end of the week kick together, Tori! These cookies look amazing…and I think I want to eat them all. Right now. For breakfast. Is that allowed?? Pinned!
All that chocolate has definitely kicked in my sugar cravings. These cookies look wickedly delicious!
Thanks, Thalia!
Can you ship me a batch of these delicious cookies? please?
Ha! I could but unfortunately they would be nothing but crumbs by the time they reached you. Thanks!
I make cookies very similar to this and only use 2 cups of flour. Just making sure that it’s correct with 4 cups of flour?
Yes, I do put 4 cups but they would probably still be good with less, maybe try 3 cups and see how they come out. Thanks, Betty!
I have try this cookies before for a couple of party and it was a complete success! Every single one was eaten!
I was just wondering, could I freeze the dough? Will it be okay and taste just the same?
Thank you!
Thank you so, so much Ana! I’m so glad to hear that you made these with success! And yes, the dough can be frozen. Depending on how long it’s frozen and how well sealed, it shouldn’t affect the flavor much. Just be sure to thaw them well before baking.
