Easy Chocolate Cookies
This is a family recipe that comes from Nicky, who works here with us at SpendWithPennies. I have to say; they’re the best chocolate cookies I’ve ever had!
Make chocolate cookies for a quick afterschool treat or movie night and watch them disappear! You likely have all of the ingredients on hand or in your pantry already. Chocolate cookies are so moist and chewy with a rich chocolate flavor. You can double this recipe for sharing (and they freeze beautifully).
Ingredients for Chocolate Cookies
Butter – Use unsalted butter. If you only have salted butter, omit the salt from the recipe. Sugar – Brown sugar has a deeper caramel flavor and adds richness to these cookies. Dry Ingredients – All purpose flour is the base of these cookies while baking soda and baking powder give them lift. Chocolate – These cookies get their rich chocolatey flavor from unsweetened chocolate, which is available in the baking aisle or online.
