Chewy Chocolate Chocolate-Chip Cookies

Debber's Note:

As soon as these cookies come out of the oven, pour a glass of ice-cold milk, and give yourself permission to eat a couple. The anti-oxidants in the double dose of chocolate will be good for you! If you leave these in the oven too long--no problem, call them "Crispy Choco Chocolate Chip Cookies." No one will complain!

These cookies were delish!!!! Not only were they soft and chewy, but they had body to them too! I can't wait to try them with the dried cherries like someone mentioned. I also added a little bit of extra cocoa to my second batch I made just because I love dark chocolate. Both ways were wonderful. Definitely recommend trying these!!!
