    I’ve made these twice. Absolutely delicious cookie!! The second batch I made the German chocolate cake cookies and they were amazing!! Thank you!!

    1. Chahinez says:

      Yay! Love to hear it!

    2. Laura says:

      German chocolate??

  2. Christie Christiansen says:

    I am making these for a wedding. Have you ever made the dough ahead of time and put in the fridge and then baked later? I am wondering if it would dry out too much. I want warm cookie to serve at the wedding, so I am baking at the venue.

    Thanks in advance.

    1. Chahinez says:

      Yes, you can make the dough ahead. Scoop it into balls, refrigerate or freeze, and bake fresh at the venue. If refrigerating for more than 48 hours, freeze instead to avoid the dough drying out. You can freeze from frozen by just adding 2 minutes.

    If you want a quick, really rich chocolatey cookie, this is the one! I wasn’t feeling like doing a recipe that required frosting today, so I went for this one and was glad that I did! Everyone in the family likes them, especially when they were warm and gooey!

    1. Chahinez says:

      YESS to warm cookies! Glad to hear they liked them!

  4. Jen says:

    Is the brown sugar amount with it packed or loose?

    1. Chahinez says:

      The brown sugar should be packed when measuring, but using a kitchen scale is best for accuracy.

      Can these be baked in the air fryer? if so what temp and how long?

      1. Chahinez says:

        Hi Renee! 🙂 You can bake these in an air fryer, however, the time would depend on how strong your air fryer is. For example, if your air fryer is super strong, then cut the time in half, but if your air fryer isn’t, then you may have to bake for longer. Either way, keep and eye when baking 🙂

  8. Tyerra says:

    The best cookies I have ever made! Absolutely delicious! I don’t like overly sweet cookies, but these were perfectly decadent! I swapped the semi sweet chocolate chips for dark chocolate chips instead. By far my favorite recipe!
