Double Chocolate Cookies, my favorite recipe for a chocolate cookie by far...I have tried many and always come back to this one.
Warm right out of the oven, I just love that gooey chocolate
I love chocolate, milk, dark, bitter sweet, have tried them all, and a little bit of each is the best. But you decide what your preference is.

2 teaspoon baking powder
