Chocolava Cookies

"This fudgy cookie, names for its cracked, lava-like appearance, is a chocolate lover's dream. I made these this past weekend, for my Craft Nite get-together. There wasn't any left over for my late night snacking. I hope you enjoy these cookies."

Great quick cookies that are perfect for a chocolate craving when chocolate chips arent around. They are easy to overbake tho so I only cooked them at 12 minutes exactly then let them sit on the pan for a bit before taking them off.

Tasted like delicious brownie bites! Getting the mixture to come together (I didn't use a food processor) took a little time, but well worth it. I'll certainly be making this one again.
