Chocolate Cookies
These chocolate cookies have a brownie-like texture. You can intensify the chocolate flavor by adding your favorite chocolate chips, or leave them plain and use them to create an Icebox Cake!
You can double or triple the chocolate intensity by adding any variety of chocolate chips. Or just make them as is and enjoy the velvety brownie texture.
Leave out chocolate chips and try them out in Icebox Cake!
