I obviously do not want to harm anyone by sharing this killer recipe, but I am almost 100% positive these cookies will make you weak at the knees. “Falling to the ground in a chocolate trance” sums these up quite nicely. Today, you’re getting 3 forms of chocolate in each bite of this fudgy cookie. A chocoholic’s pure dream. Into this dough went melted pure chocolate, unsweetened cocoa powder, and semi-sweet chocolate chips. I added the peanut butter chips for fun because it’s rare I can have chocolate without my peanut butter. Along with the chocolate, this cookie dough has your standard cookie suspects: eggs, flour, and sugar. The cookie dough recipe is pretty basic and comparable to homemade brownies. There’s also a sprinkle of baking powder to give the cookies some lift and brown sugar to keep the cookies soft. So what do they taste like? Well, as the name suggests… chocolatey. But a deep, intense chocolate. There’s no other way I’d have it. Biting into one, think of a dense fudge truffle with a little chew. The centers are super-thick and moist, but not greasy or underbaked tasting—a texture battle you can sometimes face with brownies or cookies. If you’ve tried my chewy chocolate chip cookies, we’re getting that same unbeatable cookie texture here. I overloaded the cookies with peanut butter chips in addition to the chocolate chips for obvious reasons. The peanut butter morsels dotted through the soft fudge interior and exterior not only provided a flavor break from the chocolate, but they look cute too. (Always a plus! Ha!) If the quintessential pairing of peanut butter and chocolate isn’t your thing, then by all means, leave out the peanut butter chips. You could sub some toffee, pecans, chunks of Snickers, or more chocolate instead (similar to my double chocolate chip cookies). These cookies are like gold. A surefire way to please a crowd. My family absolutely loved them and the few we had leftover didn’t even make it more than 30 seconds in my kitchen. *I must warn you that you may witness the truly hypnotizing effect of chocolate after baking these cookies. You won’t be able to speak or think about anything other than these cookies.
