Chocolate Cookies

This is one of those special recipes that belongs to the category “much-tastier-than-it-looks-like”. These chocolate cookies look a little bit plain, insignificant even, but after you try them you you will definitely want to eat one more, and another one after that, and another… They are super easy to make – you just mix everything together and that’s it. And you don’t even need to shape them or cut them out, or anything like that, they spread evenly during baking. If you have all the ingredients (and you’ve probably already got them) you will need no more than 15 minutes to put the first baking tray in the oven!

When, how and what with you’re going to enjoy these chocolate cookies is entirely your business, but we recommend you to have them with a strong espresso, dip them into a hot cappuccino, cold milk, aroma tea or crumble them onto ice cream for a deliciously simple dessert.
