Double Chocolate Chunk Cookies

It’s a brownie. Hmm…no, can’t be. It’s a cookie. May be it’s a cookie and a brownie as well. I am still not sure, having the last bite of the last cookie, as I write this post. I may not be still very sure about the question, but they are amazing. By far the best chocolate cookie recipe, I have ever tried.

Made these cakey, fudgy, chocolate chunk cookies last Saturday for my friends. They just loved it. Took two of the them for my office mates and they too were wowed {that was I was left with by the time Monday came, they disappear very fast 🙂 }.

I gave these cookies a giant size, good enough to satisfy anyone’s instant chocolate fit. In the end, I managed to save one for me.  And today morning, before leaving for work, I had half of it with a glass full of milk, with a craving to have the remaining half in the dessert after dinner. Milk and cookies, a combination made in heaven !!! Whole day, it kept me thinking about itself. And I couldn’t wait to devour the remaining half, as soon as I stepped in. And I couldn’t resist either to share it with you. If you are cookie person, you must try this one.
