    These turned out absolutely delicious! I doubled the recipe and used 3/4 cup of dark cocoa powder and 1/4 cup of regular cocoa powder and it was the perfect mix of sweet and bitter 🙂

      Made these and I put the dough in the fridge and it got too hard but turned out great after I let the dough sit out!

      1. Chahinez says:

        That’s awesome! 🙂

    Awesome recipe! I made the cookies eggless by using a flax egg instead of an egg and it worked like a charm. I drizzled the top with some melted white choc once baked instead of topping the cookies with additional choc chips. A huge hit in our household

    1. Chahinez says:

      Thank you so much for sharing! That flax egg trick is the best!

    1. Chahinez says:

      Yes!

    This recipe was great! I made it with gluten free all-purpose flour and knew going into it I would need an extra egg and a few extra tablespoons of butter and a few tablespoons of milk. They were perfect!

    1. Chahinez says:

      What GF flour did you use? Thank you so much for trying these and letting us know your thoughts 🙂
      Chahinez

  7. Heather says:

    Approximately how big is the scoop you use to make the 8 cookies? 1/2 cup, 1/4 cup? And you said to bake for 10 mins for that size? Thanks in advance for the info!

    1. Chahinez says:

      My scoop holds about 1/4 cup worth of cookie dough and yes 🙂 Hope this helped!
