"Three different kinds of chocolate in one great cookie!! They'll have a more intense flavor if you use the best-quality chocolate you can find. Candy stores or gourmet food shops usually have a good selection,"

These are SO good! I don't know anyone who wouldn't love these. I even went one step further and added bits of a Easter Bunny that no one was going to eat so it turned out to be Quad. Choco. Cookies.
