This is a great dessert recipe to make quickly and easily with leftover double chocolate chip cookies. Naturally, you’ll need to make the cookies first, and then manage to avoid eating enough to turn them into a dessert…
easy cookie recipe
To make simple double download cookies you will need:
- 1.5 cups chocolate chips (or a chocolate bar broken up with a rolling pin)
- 2 cups of sugar
- One third cup of cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence (optional; okay but not critical if you don’t have one)
- 2 eggs
Mix all the ingredients together, making sure everything is well combined. Preheat oven to 320 degrees. Grease a baking sheet, then pour the cookie mixture onto it.
The cookies should be ready in about 15 minutes, but check on them at regular intervals and turn the pan if they cook unevenly. Once done, let them cool for a few minutes on the tray and then remove them with a spatula and place them on a wire rack to cool properly. The cookies will be tastier at this point, warm and slightly soft, with melted chocolate in the middle, perfect with a cup of good coffee.
