Did you know that Thursday was national chocolate chip cookie day?! Chocolate chip cookies are such a classic sweet treat. In fact, if you google best chocolate chip cookie recipe you will get over 10 MILLION results! With so many recipes out there, you know people are serious about their chocolate chip cookies. It’s no wonder there’s a national “holiday”. How about we celebrate a day late?
I have confessed this a couple of times here on my blog, but I have such a sweet tooth. I normally keep a sweet treat of some kind on hand in the freezer for nights when I am really craving a little dessert after dinner. I had run out of my freezer stash a week ago, and I was really craving cookies this weekend. So, I whipped up a batch of these double chocolate mocha cookies. Seriously, they are like a coffee shop mocha in cookie form. There’s cocoa, chocolate chips, and instant espresso – you can’t go wrong with that combination! Also, these cookies are in no way healthy… if I want to eat a cookie, only a butter and sugar laden cookie will do!
Bake up a batch of these delicious cookies and raise your glass of milk in belated celebration of the genius who created the first chocolate chip cookie.
