Chocolate Cookies Recipe
It’s a chocolate cookie recipe with a fun twist, powdered sugar coating! I love making these cookies because they’re just so different from any other cookie I like to make. When you roll the cookies into the sugar, it opens all these new possibilities! As the cookies bake, the white round cookies spread out and slowly reveal their chocolate undertones.
I made these cookies for a weekend snack one time, when I had the extra time it take to chill them. By Sunday night, they were all gone and my friends and family were wondering when more would be in the over! This chocolate cookie recipe produces a tasty chewy cookie that is a perfect balance of chocolate decadence and sugary sweetness. Enjoy a batch of these chocolate cookies for yourself!
