Bittersweet Chocolate Cookies
Description
Per my friend Brandon’s request- rich bittersweet chocolate cookies! We surprised him and dropped off a batch of these cookies at his house and got to meet his new adorable (and HUGE) dog (maintaining social distancing of course)! They taste like a fudgy brownie, in cookie form! Don’t let the crumbly appearance of the dough scare you off, it will come together and they bake beautifully! Happy Baking!
