Very Decadent Chocolate-Chocolate Chip Cookies
COOOOOKIES!!!
Is anyone else out there a chocolate fiend like me? I love anything chocolate. Cookies, cakes, pies, muffins, brownies, ice cream, fudge.. the list could go on for eternity. I have always been a chocolate lover and appreciate trying all sorts of different recipes so when I came up with this one, it just made my heart sing. Truly. It did.
I have been primarily gluten free for the past 1.5 years but occasionally I'll eat gluten; but whether or not you eat wheat or are gluten free, these cookies should be made at least once in your house. I have a wheat version and a gluten free version for you. Aren't I so sweet?

Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt and then slowly incorporate that into the wet ingredients. Scrape the bowl and make sure everything is mixed well. Next add the chocolate chips. Refrigerate at least 1 hour then bake at 350 degrees on a parchment lined cookie sheet for 11 minutes.
